Key Components

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.
