WPCleaner (Next Generation) is an attempt to rewrite WPCleaner in a more modern way (Java 25+, Spring Boot, JavaFX...) to improve it and its maintainability. As its predecessor, it will be designed to help with various maintenance tasks, especially repairing links to disambiguation pages, checking Wikipedia, fixing spelling and typography... It will have both a graphical user interface for manual/semi-automated/automated actions in the hand of a human contributor and a fully scriptable interface for fully automated actions run by a bot.

The progress can be followed on GitHub project homepage. Current release includes the following features:

  • A login window,
  • A main window (main entry point to access available features),
  • A recent changes window.

To try the current version of WPCleaner NG:

  • Ensure you have Java installed, at least version 25,
  • Find the most recent release available,
  • Download the jar file for your own operating system (releases are available for Linux, MacOS and Windows),
  • In the folder where you downloaded the jar file, execute the command java -jar wpcleaner-ng-....jar (with the correct name for the jar file),
  • Give me feedback.
