Deleting versions There's a tool somewhere that allows you to click all the boxes - you can then manually unclick the ones you want deleted. But I don't know what the tool is or where to look.

Generally what I do is to move the page to delete the article, undelete the revisions to be removed, move the page, delete it, and then return to the original page and undelete it. You need to purge the cache for the page to show up again though - if you don't it often looks like the deleted edits have disappeared.

For example:

Delete User:Thatcher131 Undelete one or more edits Move the page to User:Thatcher131/delete Delete User:Thatcher131/delete Undelete User:Thatcher131 and, voila, you not only have deleted the offending versions, you have also hidden them from view.

One problem with deleting a page like User:Thatcher131 is that, from what I have heard, the database has to update every page linked to it if you delete it. That can slow Wikipedia down if you delete a heavily linked-to page. So alternatively, what you can do is

Move User:Thatcher131 to User:Thatcher131/temp Delete User:Thatcher131/temp Undelete one or more edits Move the page to User:Thatcher131/delete Delete User:Thatcher131/delete Undelete User:Thatcher131/temp Move User:Thatcher131/temp back to User:Thatcher131 This has the added advantage of hiding the deleted edits a little further away from prying eyes. Of course, I don't know for a fact that this lightens the load on the database.


Anyway, I have Firefox 1.5.0.7 and go to Tools → Options → on the General "tab", click the Connection Settings button → choose the Manual proxy configuration radion button → type the IP and port number → OK out of the various screens. Now you're going through that proxy and your real IP is being hidden. If you can still get to Wikipedia and get to an edit screen successfully, that means you're in.
