(If you don't work with the imagelinks or categorylinks tables, you can ignore this message)
Hello, Here is an update on the ongoing normalization of the MediaWiki link tables. Starting 1 March, the cl_to and il_to columns in the categorylinks and imagelinks tables will be removed. You will need to use cl_target_id and il_target_id, respectively, and join against the linktarget table instead. This is analogous to the templatelinks normalization done a few years ago. Additionally, the cl_collation column in the categorylinks table will be removed. Please use cl_collation_id joined with the collation table instead. If your tools or queries access these tables directly, please update them to use the new schema before 1 March. Progress is tracked at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T300222 Background/rationale: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222224 Thank you, Alexander Vorwerk — IRC: Zabe _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- [email protected] List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/ _______________________________________________ Cloud mailing list -- [email protected] List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud.lists.wikimedia.org/
