Details
[edit]deleteLocalPasswords.php is a maintenance script that deletes local passwords for users.
This script is important when you merge your current wiki into a wiki farm and want to delete all local passwords from the database. It processes 100 items in every batch.

| --user | If specified, only checks the given user | Optional |
| --delete | To prevent accidents, you must provide this flag to delete passwords | Optional |
| --prefix | Instead of deleting, make passwords invalid by prefixing with :null:. Make sure PasswordConfig has a 'null' entry. This is meant for testing before deletion. | Optional |
| --unprefix | Instead of deleting, undo the effect of --prefix | Optional |
Although the 'delete', 'prefix', and 'unprefix' options are not required, one of them must be used.
