(SOLVED) Not working for imported pages
Special:Nuke does not work for pages that were imported with Special:Import. These pages don't get listed when you search for the username under which they were imported. Anybody know why? Maiden taiwan 22:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Here is a sample that doesn't appear on Special:Nuke after importing.



My new topic WikiSysop 1 

The page imports fine, but doesn't show up on Special:Nuke. Maiden taiwan 22:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Those files show up in the Import log and also as created by (bot) "User:Conversion script" if you look at the imported file's history. However, Nuke doesn't work with this user name. My workaround for this problem is creating a special user only for importing, e.g. "Importer". HTH --Nakohdo 13:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The reason might be that imported pages don't seem to be listed under New pages in the first place. --Nakohdo 14:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Nuke queries the Recentchanges table. The type of newly imported pages is listed there as "3 - log action (introduced in MediaWiki 1.2)" instead of "1 - new page", so that's why those pages aren't listed as New pages. --Nakohdo 16:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Getting closer: Nuke actually queries for imported pages, but the line '(rc_new = 1) OR (rc_log_type = "upload" AND rc_log_action = "upload")' in file SpecialNuke_body.php must be changed to '(rc_new = 1) OR (rc_log_type = "import" AND rc_log_action = "upload")' as the log type is called "import". That seems to do the trick - at least the pages show up for Nuke (even if not under New pages). --Nakohdo 16:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Offical bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9120
 * I can confirm that Nakohdo fix actually works. Adamtheclown 18:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

how to install
I uploaded SpecialNuke.php to my extensions folder and added   to my LocalSetting.php, but it did not work. Should I make more changes to my LocalSetting.php
 * You probably installed the extension in a subdirectory. You need to point to the extension's full path. Titoxd (?!?) 06:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Change Nuke to be able to delete older pages?
I would like to use Nuke to delete old pages. How can I modify it to be able to delete older pages?

Thanks.

Second that. I missed a few spammers awhile back, and now there is no easy way to remove their trash. --TheAlmightyGuru 20:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

What version does this work with?
I'm using version 1.6.8, and the Special:Nuke page just gives me the error: "You have requested an invalid special page..." 74.106.235.121 03:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Similar problem - trying to use it on version 1.6.10 and I get this error


 * Fatal error : Call to a member function on a non-object in /path_to_file_removed/includes/SpecialPage.php on line 210

Is this extension compatible with my Wiki version?

86.158.66.219 15:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Compatible with mediawiki-1.14.0 ?
I installed Nuke on version 1.12.0, and it works great. Does anyone know for sure if that installation will work on version 1.14.0? 134.124.48.208 14:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Developed on ED?
According to http://forum.rationalwiki.com, it was developed on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Is this true? 4.152.24.215 15:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * According to Extension:Nuke, it was developed by our own Brion Vibber. --Cmelbye 20:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Reasons for installation failures?
I cannot get this to work. Could someone list post probable or common reasons for this. I followed the instructions. Thanks. Cruth

Changes to work with 1.6.10
I got this working (special page loads, at least) by changing the $GLOBALS assignment in wfSetupNuke in extensions/SpecialNuke.php to:

$page = new SpecialPage( "Nuke", 'nuke' ); $page->addPage($page);

nuke+revert
Is there an extension that would undo everything a vandal has done, ie: delete pages created (as 'nuke' already does) but also revert all changes made where there were any previous valid edits from other users? --Carlb 00:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Nuke lists only one of the Articles but many times
I installed Nuke according to the current instructions, and it seem to be running in general. However after I enter a User's name, it does not list all the pages, instead it lists the first (oldest) page many many times but with differing numbers (curiously all multiples of 45 as it seems):
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (90 changes)
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (360 changes)
 * TestYYY (90 changes)
 * TestYYY (45 changes)
 * TestYYY (135 changes)

If I choose to remove "all of them", I also get tons of deletion entries for that single page in the deletion log. On next try comes the next page (many many times) - so I can only go one by one... Any Ideas?

I use the following Extensions and versions:
 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * xamp on Windows Server 2003
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.51a
 * Nuke: svn revision 36923
 * Semantic Forms (Version 1.2.3)
 * ParserFunctions (Version 1.1.1)
 * Semantic MediaWiki (Version 1.1.2)
 * StringFunctions (Version 2.0)
 * language: en

How it works
Does it deletes the pagemoves? Does it revert edits? Does it delete uploads?(75.22.93.27 21:06, 26 August 2008 (UTC))

Something other than recentchanges?
Well, I'm not holdout out much help for a reply, but I have two queries: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "SpecialNuke::getNewPages". MySQL returned error "1267: Illegal mix of collations (latin1_bin,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' (localhost)".
 * I, too, require mass deletion on something other than the recentchanges table. Preferably the whole database, or even those listed on newpages would do. How can I modify it to do so? The alternative, I suppose, is to change the length of the recentchanges and run rebuildrecentchanges.
 * I frequently get this error message:

Some of the pages I need deleting do have bizarre ascii symbols in their names, but if I attempt again on a set of pages with regular titles, I get the same error (for a while.) 82.47.176.71 15:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Have you considered Extension:DeleteBatch? Tisane 08:57, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Extension:MassBlank
Hi, I think MassBlank is closely related to this one. However I realised that it provides the possibility to enter a reason for massblanking to the admin utilising it. I think it might be a wonderful idea to integrate this possibility to Nuke, too. („nuke-nukecomment“ / „massblank-blankcomment“) Cheers --kgh 19:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That functionality was copied from Nuke. See the pic of Nuke in action. Tisane 04:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Tisane, you are right! I stumbled upon this whilst translating your extension. As I used Nuke's translation as a blue print I found out, that it does not provide a possibility to translate this field to input a reason for massdeletion. („nuke-nukecomment“ / „massblank-blankcomment“) Thus I thought, I was not there. Anyway, thank your for your reply. Cheers --kgh 10:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Deleting Pages made with Special Characters
First off, thanks for the wonderful extension. Helped me clear up a fair amount of spam on my wiki. However, I was not able to delete certain pages, such as this:



It seems as if this page is listed, but contains no content. It's in my Special:Random and RecentChanges lists. I just can't seem to get rid of it and pages like it. Any suggestions?

Filenames
The installation guide says to add this to LocalSettings.php:

However, the filename is "SpecialNuke.php" for the version I downloaded (Nuke-MW1.15-r48711). Is this a recent change or version-specific or something? I thought it wasn't installing correctly until I realised the filename was different to what was specified. --Zilog Jones 16:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

@Zilog: Anything 1.6 or earlier uses SpecialNuke. Only the development version uses Nuke so when the doc reference "older" version, it really means the current non development version.


 * Ah, I was about to mention the same mistake. So the "trunk" version is considered the latest, and 1.16 (current) is considered an old version? Heh, that's amusing for some reason.Asndb 12:14, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.
When I go to Special:Nuke page, I get this with MW 1.16 and the the latest version of Nuke.php.
 * Try adding this to LocalSettings.php

Ban User As Well
Love the extension, but I wonder if you could integrate banning a user at the same time we nuke their vandalization. It seems that if you're going to delete everything a user just posted, you're most likely going to ban them as well. But currently, I have to manually ban them afterwards. --TheAlmightyGuru 20:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I second that. --Chriswaterguy 13:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Delete uploaded files?
A common pattern for spammers these days is to upload an image file and create a page using that image. If images were deleted along with pages, that would help a lot. --Chriswaterguy 13:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Mass rollback
It would be very useful if someone took the time to develop an extension that reverts all of a user's edits 189.245.203.126 20:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Have you looked at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Administrator%27s_Handbook/Rollback, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rollback_feature , http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback ? --Nakohdo 04:47, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The API seems to be the only one of those pages that could actually help in this case. The question was about mass rollback, not just your usual one-at-a-time rollback. Reach Out to the Truth 05:03, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
