Is there a command to delete all pages created by a particular user, or do I have to keep deleting them one-by-one?
(Answer on the wiki, please - I'm too busy to look here for a while.)
EDIT: And I just deleted a page that I deleted half an hour ago. I'm going to have to protect them all as I delete them...
RE-EDIT: Still whacking moles, but Arcane is helping now. Thank you! Luckily, we've categorize all the valid pages on the wiki, so http://poserdazfreebies.orain.org/wiki ... rizedPages is a list of what still needs to be deleted.I made your life easier, Rob. I checkusered most of the spammers, and they were all using the same IP addresses, all blocked, so this should get them to go away for awhile, put in a request with our stewards if you need any further help, k?
I have had a feature request in for a couple of months, to change the permission of creating new pages from "User" to "Confirmed" (or "Administrator"). That would help prevent a re-occurrence of this mess...
users - can edit, but not create new pages.
confirmed/autoconfirmed - can edit and create new pages.
Also, I would like your opinion on the above extensions for ATT, let me know if you want them on your wiki as well.
