There's quite a few pages that haven't been touched since
their import
from MoinMoin, and I'm thinking about mass-deleting 'em.
Process for doing so:
1) write script that finds pages that haven't been touched by anybody
except ImportUser and Admin
1.5) blog loudly
2) write [[Template:Quarantine]], which will throw pages that transclude
it in [[Category:Quarantine]] and explain that the page will be
deleted on or after September 1 if the template is not removed
3) write script to mass-delete everything in [[Category:Quarantine]] on
September 1
If somebody wants a page back and nobody did anything about the
template, pages can still be restored by an admin.
Thoughts? I want to make sure that we have a pretty solid consensus
here before I go forth with this.
No opposition here, but would like for a date to be attached to 1,
1.5, and 2 as part of this plan.
