Request WIKI_DELETE permission for myself

Description

I'd be willing to clean up the wiki from spam if you could give me the required permissions to the Trac wiki.

The vast majority of pages in the wiki are spam pages. I can create a list if you'd rather run the delete command from the shell somehow (this would probably be more efficient, and leave less cruft in the Trac logs).

Change History

Changed 6 months ago by era

In case it's not blindingly obvious, RecentChanges has links to hundreds of pages which exploit this site to gain Google rankings for various shady pharmacy and mp3 sites. These should be removed in the name of common decency, and to restore the usefulness (and reputation, in e.g. Google's eyes!) of this site.

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFaq#how-do-i-remove-a-page-from-the-wiki suggests that a user with WIKI_DELETE permissions could do the cleanup. Merely replacing the pages with empty content does not seem like a good idea, but I can go ahead with that as a Plan B if my proposal is somehow too ambitious.
