This may not have the exact result you are hoping for. The documentation of the script states "Deletes all pages in the MediaWiki namespace which were last edited by "MediaWiki default".". I assume you and other nds-nl administrators have made the edits.

It is a solution. Does take a lot of time, though. You could also create a list of messages to be deleted from Special:Allmessages and then use a bot (delete.py) to delete those pages.

Is this request still open? What's actually the desired outcome?

Desired outcome: to delete all identical messages on nds-nl, so that I can work from translatewiki.net only.
