Forum:Deleting unused files with AWB

Is it possible to use AWB to delete unused files in a wiki? --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 06:48, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * AFAIK, AWB cannot delete pages. You're going to want to look into PyWikipediaBot instead. Rappy 06:49, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * AWB certainly can delete pages. However, it's kind of difficult to generate a list of unused files. I find that the easiest way to do it is to view the source of Special:UnusedFiles and do a little bit of Regex formatting to get the file names. 06:57, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I honestly have no idea what Regex formatting means. Is there an easy way to explain to me what I should do? --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 07:00, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Really? I'll have to look into that. Rappy 07:07, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you point me to your wiki I could make a usable list of the unused files on it that could be fed to AWB for deletion. 07:02, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is my wiki: http://inazuma-eleven.wikia.com/wiki/Inazuma_Eleven_Wiki --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 07:03, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's your list. Just put it into AWB and delete each of the pages using the delete button. You could also use pywikipediabot to do it fast, but that's a bit more complicated. 07:14, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! You've been of great help. --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 07:20, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, actually, those need to be prefixed. Try this. 07:24, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
