Bug ID: 69933 Summary: Allow nuke to revert a mass delete? Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: Nuke Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: deanato...@yahoo.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: --- What happens if an user account that has the admin privileges, or has the nuke right set, had their account compromised? What if the hacker discovered this Special:Nuke page and decided that "oh, I shall completely destroy Wikipedia and all it's pages! MWAHAHAHHA!". It would be extremely hard to restore all pages back again if the WMF servers do not backup. Maybe we should add a revert option so other admins, with that sad look, still have a chance to get Wikipedia back and running again by reverting a mass delete without having to contact the MySQL server directly. If an admin account gets compromised now, all pages are currently at risk of being mass deleted by a hacker who hacked into a sysop's account, and right now, it is extremely hard to undo. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
