Mass deletion when Special:Nuke won't show pages
In case anyone ever needs to delete at ton of pages in bulk, and they won't show up under Mass Delete (Requires Firefox and Notepad++):

Generate a list of links to the delete action for each page, eg.	http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Unverified:Material_2_Requirement_Stage_I&action=delete http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Unverified:Material_2_Requirement_Stage_II&action=delete http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Unverified:Material_2_Requirement_Stage_III&action=delete http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Unverified:Material_2_Requirement_Stage_IV&action=delete http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Unverified:Material_3_Amount_Stage_I&action=delete This can be done by copy/pasting the page names from All Pages into Notepad++, and then:


 * replacing the tabs that appear between individual page names with find/replace (tab as find (will already be entered if one was selected when find/replace was activated), "\n" as replace, search mode extended)
 * converting the spaces to underscores with find/replace (" ", "_", Normal search mode)
 * adding url text to the beggining of each link with find/replace ("^(.*)$" as find, "http://firefall.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=$1" as replace, search mode regular expression)
 * adding url text to the end of each link with find/replace ("^(.*)$" as find, "$1&action=delete" as replace, search mode regular expression)

put this text somewhere on the wiki to make the links active, like in your user page (no need to save, it'll work from preview)


 * Select these links by dragging a box around them with the mouse cursor (has to start above the text of the first link to work).
 * Right click on them and select 'Open Links in New Tabs' (might have to do this in stages to keep firefox from crashing if you have a huge number of pages to delete)

Now you can quickly set the delete reason for each page:


 * Put the reason in for the first tab, and copy it.
 * Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V, repeat (this will swap to the next tab, which will have the reason box already avtive, select all the text in it, and replace it with the reason copied from the first tab)
 * When you have done this for all the tabs you can then hit the delete button on the first, Ctrl+Tab, repeat to actually delete all the pages.
 * Middle click tabs to close them all quickly
