Details[edit]
purgeExpiredWatchlistItems.php is a maintenance script that deletes expired rows from the watchlist and watchlist_expiry database tables.
Options[edit]
This script doesn't have any of its own parameters, and the most useful of the generic parameters is probably --batch-size, which determines how many rows will be deleted on each run (defaults to 500).
Usage[edit]
php maintenance/purgeExpiredWatchlistItems.php
Terminal
$ php maintenance/purgeExpiredWatchlistItems.php 7 expired watchlist entries found. All expired entries purged.
Common error[edit]
- Watchlist expiry is not enabled.
An error is thrown if $wgWatchlistExpiry is not true. Set $wgWatchlistExpiry = true; to enable.
