Batch deleting revisions for time saving
Most of the time batch deleting of revisions would be very helpful. I can understand that an occasional goof-up could occur if one were in a big hurry, but the addition of check boxes and a 'Delete Selected' button on the Show all pages follow-up page would sure be a great time saver!!
I’m curious!

Inappropriate?Why do you want to delete all or many revisions of a page?
Would a function to restrict who could revert a page to a previous version help? (I think currently this is available to writers and above)
I’m curious too!

I'd just like to have a way to quickly and efficiently clean up after a project is completed, leaving, usually, the final draft, or just one choice draft. If and when possible, I can delete the entire set by simply erasing the page's file name, but that doesn't work when I need to preserve just one example out of MANY. Of course one work-around would be to save the contents and try to save the formatting of the choice page on disk, erase the file name, then reconstitute the example saved on disk to another file later on named the same as the original file so I don't have to change every link to that page on other pages. -
Inappropriate?An easy way to save just the copy of the wiki you want is to use the backup function. Get your wiki to the point you want it, and then got to Settings | Backup and take a .ZIP "snapshot" of your wiki.
This will get you HTML and text files of every page on your wiki in their current state, no history.
Then, you can delete all the pages (which will also delete their history), and then all the revisions of the FrontPage (a lot fewer revisions to delete!).
From there, you can re-create your wiki using the HTML or Text files in the backup you made earlier. Just make sure to name the pages correctly, they're case-sensitive!
How does that sound for a work-around? :)
Best of luck!
