Seeking Assistance with Deleting Pages without Templates in ProcessWire

[SwimToWin]

Hello Community, I've encountered an issue while using the Custom Page Class to import pages into ProcessWire. Currently, the Custom Page Class does not support the new Page() method, as documented in Issue #1864 on GitHub. Consequently, I've ended up with a significant number of test pages that lack a template assignment (specifically, the pages table has a number of entries with templates_id = 0).

When attempting to open these template-less pages via the URL /processwire/page/edit/?id=1234, I receive an Error 500.

This error message is shown when opening ProcessWire's admin interface:

PagesLoader: You must assign a template to the page before setting field values (title__data) [pageClass=ProcessWire\Page, template=]

Here are the methods I've attempted to remove these pages:

Deletion in ProcessWire editing interface: Cannot empty Trash due to missing template.

Direct Deletion Using ProcessWire API: Attempting to delete pages directly through ProcessWire's API, like so:

$pw = $pages->find("template.id=0");
foreach($pw as $p) {
    $p->delete();
}

This approach was not successful.

Database Query & Deletion: Running a direct query to identify and delete the pages results in a Server Error 500:

$ids = $database->query("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE templates_id = 0");
foreach($ids as $id) {
    $p = $pages->get($id);
    if($p->id) {
        $p->delete();
        echo "<br>Deleted: " . $p->id;
    }
}

Deletion by Specific ID Range: I also tried deleting pages by specifying an ID range, but this did not resolve the issue:

$pagesToDelete = $pages->find("id>1188");
foreach($pagesToDelete as $p) {
    printf('<br>%s (%s)', $p->title(), $p->id);
    $p->delete();
}

I am seeking advice on how to delete or update these pages effectively. Any insights or alternative methods you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

PS: I suggested a fix that should prevent such scenarios: Gracefully handling errors in ProcessWire Custom Page Classes (Request #515).

Fixed! Documenting it helped clear my mind.

update pages set templates_id = 50 where templates_id = 0
