+"""This script can be used to delete and undelete pages en masse.
+
+Of course, you will need an admin account on the relevant wiki.
+
+These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
+
+&params;
+
+Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
+
+-always        Don't prompt to delete pages, just do it.
+
+-summary:XYZ   Set the summary message text for the edit to XYZ.
+
+-undelete      Actually undelete pages instead of deleting. Obviously
+               makes sense only with -page and -file.
+
+-isorphan      Alert if there are pages that link to page to be deleted
+               (check 'What links here'). By default it is active and
+               only the summary per namespace is be given. If given as
+               ``-isorphan:n``, n pages per namespace will be shown. If
+               given as ``-isorphan:0``, only the summary per namespace
+               will be shown. If given as ``-isorphan:n``, with n < 0,
+               the option is disabled. This option is disregarded if
+               ``-always`` is set.
+
+-orphansonly:  Specified namespaces. Separate multiple namespace numbers
+               or names with commas. Examples:
+
+               .. code:: shell
+
+                  -orphansonly:0,2,4
+                  -orphansonly:Help,MediaWiki
+
+               Note that Main ns can be indicated either with a 0 or a ',':
+
+               .. code:: shell
+
+                  -orphansonly:0,1
+                  -orphansonly:,Talk
+
+Usage:
+
+    python pwb.py delete [-category categoryName]
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Delete everything in the category "To delete" without prompting:
+
+    python pwb.py delete -cat:"To delete" -always
