I used that term to refer to "wiki admins" and/or "wiki moderators" whom are able to delete images. :P me...I should have said staff members on a wiki.

It would be relatively easy to create a script add checkboxes beside images on Special:UnusedFiles. Yay! I'm so happy to hear that! 452 wrote: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/AjaxBatchDelete is an existing tool which you could use for this purpose, but instead of a list of checkboxes, you simply copy/paste filenames into the list, enter a deletion reason at the bottom and click the button.

So, you can go though Special:NewFiles or Special:UnusedFiles to see the images, and copy the file page names there.

Be aware that you need to use "File:Example.jpg", rather than "Example.jpg" or " http://wikia.blah/.../Example.jpg "

edit: I see that this was already mentioned earlier in the thread. I assumed that Adriano 25 had already read the thread and had not found an answer, so I didn't read this thread again. I'm sorry for assuming that other people read threads. Thank you so very much, 452! Yup! I did read the thread but was very confused at first and thought it only referred to a bot. So sorry about this!
