Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Wonderful Revision Cleaner version 1.0.1 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Over time WordPress stores a copy of every edit as a post revision. On busy sites this quietly bloats the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables with thousands of rows you will never look at again — slowing down the database and inflating backups.
Wonderful Revision Cleaner gives you a simple, safe way to clean them up. You decide the rules, preview precisely what would be removed, and only then delete.
Two cleanup rules
Keep newest revisions per post — keep only the N most recent revisions of each post and remove the rest (for example, keep 5).
Delete revisions older than X days — remove any revision older than a chosen age (for example, 30 days).
Each rule has its own checkbox and both can be combined: a revision is removed as soon as at least one enabled rule applies. With no rule enabled, nothing can be deleted at all.
Safety first
Dry run / preview — before anything is deleted, the preview shows exactly how many revisions match, how many posts are affected, and how many revision metadata ( postmeta ) and term-relationship rows would be cleaned up. Nothing is touched until you explicitly confirm.
Backup reminder — the tool reminds you to back up your database, because deleting revisions is permanent and can only be undone from a backup.
WordPress-native deletion — revisions are removed through the official wp_delete_post_revision() function, which also cleans up their metadata correctly. There are no raw DELETE queries against your tables.
Batched with a progress bar — very large sites are cleaned up in automatic batches so a single request never runs away; a progress bar runs the whole job to completion without freezing your browser. (If JavaScript is disabled, it falls back to one batch per click.)
It is the ideal maintenance tool for blogs, magazines, and any content-heavy WordPress site that has accumulated years of revisions.
