> (In reply to comment #5)
> We've had deleteDefaultMessages.php for ages, marking WORKSFORME.
>
> The way that script has been implemented it only deletes pages
> from the MediaWiki namespace that were created by old the MediaWiki
> installer (User:MediaWiki_default).
>
> It doesn't delete pages that are redundant but last modified by a
> local user. This is very common on lang wikis created after 2006
> (when we last used the "MediaWiki_default" thing in the installer)
> but were not handled by translatewiki.net yet.
>
> Those wikis have 100s of local pages with translations. Most of
> which have been since imported to translatewiki and as such are
> now redundant.
>
> Keeping them local only causes translations to get outdated and/or
> cause migration issues when messages change (e.g. different
> parameters or whatever).
