[wiki help] sysop help needed !!
Before I upgrade our database (and system) to 1.20.2 I would like to clean
some of the dead stuff.
I would apriciate if some of the sysop could help me with
- looking at special page/unused files and delete them (during upload
people are warned this will happen)
- looking at special page/unsed categories and delete them (WATCH out, at
least one russian template has a remark "please do not delete")
there are too much for me alone.
Once it has been done, I will clean it from the database, so we have a
slimmer system, without loosing any information.
Jan.

Two Russian categories have a mark as "do not delete".

My script uses the log table, so if they hade made a contribution they are
not deleted, but I will change it, to check if they have an active
contribution.
the "create account" is active, so feel free to test it (the database will
be dropped afterwards).

@RBG, we will get to 2012 hopefully before we reach 2013 :-)
thanks to all that helps deleting files.

The users in question no longer have files uploaded; they've been
deleted. If your script counts deleted contributions as active, then
yes, please change it. Otherwise, the accounts will disappear properly.

The extension is no help in identifying new spammers, but it's a great
help in chasing them, by complaining to the ISP. I have all the
bookmarks for that, from my time as a ML moderator.
It's also helpful in identifying multiple accounts for the same user
(which is okay, unless they're all spammers!).

Thanks for helping, the list seems endless :-(
I will run the script again, but not until the upgrade is done, and if the
students have uploaded images they will not be deleted, my script searches
for users with no contributions of any kind, however I can modify it (if
the community agrees) to search for users with my PAGE contributions.

understand it correctly it does not help identifying already created users.
Did you have a look at the new create account page, on wikitest, that is
not easy for the average spammer to bypass.

I also found a couple of wallpapers and some maps of German cities...
I just arrived up to June 2008 deleting unused files, later I'll go on. If
someone else wants to give a hand, it is welcomed ;)

Hi, Jan,
Cleaning out some files, I found a lot of students doing their homework
on the wiki :/ so I hope you will run your "delete stale unused
accounts" script again, and with the date updated to the next month. We
should get rid of a lot of stale accounts.
BTW, I am adding a request to the Wiki Maintenance page, to install the
"CheckUser" extension. I want to use that to fight the spammers.
