When deleting pages in Nuke, admins would sometimes like to also delete all subpages of pages which are being deleted.
This could be a form option.
Open questions
- How do we display subpages in the list of pages to be deleted?

This initially confused me, so to confirm, I assume this task is asking for:
- When User A creates a page, and User B creates a subpage of it, if Special:Nuke is used on User A, the subpage should also still be deleted.
- When User A creates a page, and User B creates another page which redirects to it, if Special:Nuke is used on User A, incoming redirects should also still be deleted.
I think both could be form options, but shouldn't be default behaviour.
For clarity, Special:Nuke will already locate both redirects and subpages created by the targeted user.

I split out the redirects request to T364222 (this ticket originally requested deletion of both subpages and redirects).

Perhaps in the new table design (T370974) one of the columns could display the number of subpages, with a link to Special:PrefixIndex, so that administrators can see how many subpages could be eligible for deletion for each entry, and investigate them manually. This would allow looking at the pages without swamping the main list with all of them.
