The second script is a targeted script which takes
advantage of the new externallinks table to
quickly find links to a given domain. It then removes the spam in the same manner as the
first
script. It edits as "MediaWiki spam cleanup". In my initial test, it took 12
minutes to remove all
links to *.f859.info on all wikis. It should be possible to make it a fair bit faster
than that.
OK, it now takes about 2 seconds for the search plus maybe another 2 seconds per revert.
Feel free
to request this on #wikimedia-tech.
