Hello,
I have a wiki where bots are uploading new versions of local file once in a while, slowly
making the file archive bigger and bigger. Has anyone seen a maintenance script (or is
there a simple way) to remove all old verisons of files? The old versions are of no use to
the end users, and there are no licenses that require me to keep them (normal users use
files from Commons), so they are really just a waste of space.
(Here is what it might look like:

I used successfully

for many years with MediaWiki 1.15.1
Thank you, but as far as I can understand SpecialDeleteOldRevisions2 does *not* delete
archived files, but old page revisions? (I have used it for that purpose myself once or
twice.) Removing old revisions of a file page still leaves the old file versions in
