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 Keeping them local only causes translations to get outdated and/or cause migration issues when messages change (e.g. different parameters or whatever).
