Access the Admin menu and choose the History Cleanup plugin.

The plugin checks all pages from the recent changes page.

In configuration manager, you can also setup the plugin to run automatically once a day.

The plugin checks all pages from a namespace and it's sub-namespaces. If no namespace is given it checks all pages.

• The plugin checks for all old versions of a page.
• it checks from old to new version.
• it check always two versions that are back-to-back each other.
• if the authors are the same and the time span between the versions is lesser then 1 hour the old version will be deleted.

Here a small example on the DokuWiki welcome page history:

• Add a function to automatic delete old history data that is older then a specific value in days (like automatic_cleanup_script)
• Add a function to automatic cleanup the playground (like keeping_playground_clean)
• I miss some flexibility. Instead of merging history entries by the same user within 1 hour, I'd like to keep 1 history entry per month or per year, regardless of who edited it last. A draft new version is available in the forum: http://forum.dokuwiki.org/post/33457 — quadra 2012/07/13 13:52
• Selective removal of versions would be nice

• maintenance
