[Mediawiki-l] Delete single revisions from database

Hello,

some spammers made my "text" table explode, its size is now 170 MB,
many rows with 2 MB. I've already deleted the spam revisions in the
wiki with deleting the page and restoring only spam-free revisions (as
described on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Administrators#Deletion).

But the spam rows are still in the "text" table. Is it safe to delete
them manually?

I'm using Mediawiki 1.12.0.
