Mass deletion of pages in attached list
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Request: Requesting a delete page maintenance script run on Public Test Wiki to mass delete the leftover translation pages in Translations: namespace, likely caused from jobrunner issues back when we only had the one jobrunner. Additionally, it may have also been caused by users manually creating translation pages.

Whatever the reason, I have verified the corresponding subject pages, and all subpages, in the applicable namespace have been deleted and are no longer in any way in the translation system. This is just housekeeping, and housekeeping that needs a larger mop. ;)

Question: The last time the deletion script was run, Naleksuh was wondering if we could link to this Phabricator task in the log summary, i.e., [[phab:T6197]], either on a one-time basis or by modifying your script to include the interwiki wikilink coding. Thanks!

Whoops, I saw your edited description too late. And well that isn't really part of the script, the reason option allows me to input a different summary for each case. I'll remember to do that next time :)

@Reception123 No worries. You're fast. Not a big deal. That's good to know for the future, though. :)
