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.
