Use
Edit file extensions/BlockandNuke/whitelist.txt. List all registered users whose contributions to your wiki are not spam. This list must be edited manually. One username per line, e.g.

Admin

Dorris

Sam

Go to Special:BlockandNuke. The special page is listed under Special:SpecialPages, under Page Tools, BlockandNuke.

A checklist shows all users who made contributions since last use of this tool and are not listed in whitelist.txt. Default checklist: all checked. Select users you would like to block - all their contributions will be deleted. Click 'Select Users'. Then confirm by clicking the button 'BlockandNuke'.

Integration with Extension:UserMerge
If you have Extension:UserMerge installed, this blocked user's accounts will be merged with the user specified in $wgBaNSpamUser which, by default, is "Spammer".

Command line for mass action
If you want to clean up hundreds or thousands of pages and accounts, there is a command line script -- ban.php -- that is easier to use.

Logs and Unblock
A log of all deletions and blocked users is maintained at Special:Log/delete.

If a user was blocked by mistake - to unblock a user go to Special:Unblock.
