The DeleteBatch extension adds a special page, Special:DeleteBatch, where users with the 'deletebatch' right can delete multiple pages easily.
Usage
[edit]The user can delete pages either through the form or by uploading a text file containing the names (and optional delete reasons) of the deletable pages.
The syntax is:
- page name|Reason for deletion
So if you wanted to delete the page called "Test" with the reason "no longer needed", you'd type:
Test|no longer needed
in the form on Special:DeleteBatch.
This extension was based off on the maintenance script with the same name .
Installation
[edit]- Download and move the extracted
DeleteBatch
folder to yourextensions/

Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/DeleteBatch - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'DeleteBatch' );
- Configure as required
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
[edit]By default, this extension lets only bureaucrats delete batches. You can change it to, e.g., let sysops delete batches:
