Nuke is an extension that makes it possible for sysops to mass delete pages. It was written by Brion Vibber in September 2005. It is running on all Wikimedia sites.

You can download the code directly via Git from the MediaWiki source code repository (browse code) or download a snapshot (select your version of MediaWiki) and save it into the extensions/Nuke directory of your wiki. To get the latest version of Nuke, just clone the git master.

If you have shell access to your server, you may do this to download the extension:

cd extensions
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/Nuke.git
