Board Thread:Script Suggestions/@comment-3247345-20141221022351/@comment-4018164-20141221213714

So if i understand you correctly, what you're trying to do is to delete all messages by a given users from threads in a wiki's forum and message walls? If you refer to hiding all messages (what the Remove button from replies does, so the messages are still visible in the thread if you are given a link to their anchor), please ignore the mesage below this line.

I'd like to point out that the behavior of board thread namespace- the source pages for message wall and forum replies, is kinda unexpected. While deleting a message is relatively easy, if you restore that reply, it won't return automatically to the thread on which it appeared.

Furthermore, if you delete the source for the main post (or main message, in the case of message wall) from a thread, it will no longer be visible, and instead will redirect to a message wall of a user that doesn't exist, but if you restore the original thread message, it still wont show up, and only the last reply to that thread will be visible (and won't have a thread title, but can be added). In case you delete a thread with no replies, it would still redirect to that message wall of this user that doesn't exist, after restoring.

And also, if you're lucky enough to delete a reply rather than the starting message of a thread, there's always a chance that someone quotted this person, so the message would still be visible.

In other words, i'd highly recommend to stay away from anything that has to do with deleting the source of threads, unless you find a way to safely restore them afterwards, as it could cause more harm than being useful.
