Topic on Extension talk:Nuke

For me this extension does not work as expected.

Even if I give the exact name of a page as the Pattern for the page name and leave all other fields to their default values, I always get the answer "There are no new pages in recent changes." and nothing happens to that page.

The page was created two days ago and appears on Special:RecentChanges. The page name in question is something like "XX 123: 12345/YY/0‎", if that helps.

Given that apparently nobody else has a problem with this extension, does somebody have an idea what I might be missing?

(MediaWiki 1.27.1, Nuke 1.2.0)

Same problem. I just imported a bunch of pages, the import failed halfway through. When I try to use Nuke, 'nothing in recent changes'. The lack of support in the mediawiki for bulk page operations is completely unexpected and a fundamental problem.

You could try Extension:DeleteBatch.

I also have issues with Nuke. It seems to be running a query against the recentchanges table for the pages to be deleted rather than against the page table or something closer to what I'd expect. I was able to get a few items to show up by commenting out line 258 in Nuke_body.php but I haven't taken the time to go through the code to figure out how the extension is supposed to work or why it would only be, seemingly, for deleting "new pages".
