From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a draft version of a pywikipedia script for assisting admins in the cleanup of the ever-backlogged CAT:CSD.

How it works:

• For each page from CAT:CSD:
  • Get page's text and print it on user's screen
  • Ask if the page should be deleted
  • If the answer is positive:
    • Ask for a reason for deletion (shortcuts available)
    • Ask for confirmation
    • If confirmation is positive:
      • Delete the page
      • If it's not a talk page, check if there is one
      • If yes, ask if it should be deleted (under the standard G8 CSD)
