Is there a way to quickly delete all the marked pages and then clean up the Pages for deletion page? i.e. a bot plug-in or shortcuts? Thanks. -hoalvin | Is there a way to quickly delete all the marked pages and then clean up the Pages for deletion page? i.e. a bot plug-in or shortcuts? Thanks. -hoalvin | ||
* No - you have to manually delete them all, which is a pain. When they're gone, the category will automatically depopulate, so you don't need to do anything with them. What you ''really'' need is a better CAPTCHA. The one you have - the simple math one - is easily defeated by spambots. And all these accounts ''are'' bots :/ See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA here] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA here] for something a bit better - [[User:Ihatespam|Ihatespam]] 02:40, 26 August 2011 (EDT) | * No - you have to manually delete them all, which is a pain.

* Check out [http://wiki.bltnvw.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges this example of a really badly-infested wiki]. I've no access to the shell, though, so am stuck doing the daily-delete thing. In fact I followed a spam link to ''your'' wiki from there - [[User:Ihatespam|Ihatespam]] 02:41, 26 August 2011 (EDT) | |||
