Key Components

The Adiutor Batch Deletion module consists of several key components and functions:

1. Initialization: The script initializes various variables and objects, including `mwConfig`, `api`, `windowManager`, and `dialog`. These are essential for interacting with the Wikipedia environment and creating the user interface.

2. Fetching Pages to Delete: The script fetches a list of pages from a specific category (`Category:Other speedy deletions`) using the MediaWiki API. It processes the retrieved pages and creates CheckboxMultioptionWidgets for each page, allowing the user to select pages for deletion.

3. Select All and Clear Selection: The module provides "Select All" and "Clear Selection" buttons to simplify the page selection process.

4. Deletion Reasons: Deletion reasons are retrieved from JSON data and displayed in a dropdown menu. Users can select predefined reasons or provide custom reasons.

5. Batch Deletion Dialog: The module presents a dialog interface for users to select pages, deletion reasons, and initiate the batch deletion process.

6. API Interactions: The script interacts with the MediaWiki API (`api`) to delete selected pages and their corresponding talk pages. It also handles notifications upon successful deletion.
