Mass destruction
Thanks for that. I was just going to try to find out how to do that - I've seen del-batch as a button but never used it yet. (Funny thing - I was just commenting to MelanieN that the Delete button is missing from the Main Page, but Del-batch is there.) Peridon (talk) 16:12, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha... if the comment didn't tell me otherwise, I'd have thought your section header was a joke :D. The page that does that is Special:Nuke! Courcelles (talk) 16:14, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. So what are del-batch and d-batch, then? Peridon (talk) 16:18, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Deli-batch deletes all files on a page (or in a category. Works on files only).  D-batch deletes all pages linked from another page. Useful those times when you, say, close a CFD and need 100 categories and their talk pages to go away. Nuke deletes all pages created by a username. Courcelles (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I usually only close CfD, RfD and MfD when I have (or someone else has) already deleted the thing under discussion. But it's nice to know what they do. Ta. Peridon (talk) 16:28, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * See the deleted for how you create a page listing all the pages you want to make disappear, and then use d-batch.
