removeUnusedAccounts.php is a maintenance script. An unused account is one which has no edits, no deleted edits, no log entries (task T36581), and no current/old uploads.
You can use deleteArchivedRevisions.php to first remove deleted revisions (e.g. after a massive vandalism/spam attack) and run removeUnusedAccounts.php afterwards.
Usage[edit]
| Option/Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| --ignore-touched | Skip accounts touched in last N days. If not set, it defaults to "1". In this case the script will check/remove all unused accounts up to the current date, including accounts created just a few seconds ago. |
| --ignore-groups | List of comma-separated groups to exclude. Accounts from these groups will not be removed, also if they are unused. |
| --delete | Delete the accounts. Running it without the parameter --delete, the script will only list the unused accounts. |
