Hi all, Just as a safety net I'd like to publish copies of the databases powering my MediaWiki installations, so that if I lose all my data and backups, I might still be able to get something back (as well as reassuring my users that their contributions won't be lost forever!)
I don't want to publish the raw database dump because it contains people's e-mail addresses and password hashes, but I'm thinking that perhaps if I take a copy of the database and erase the values in those tables, I might be able to export and publish the 'anonymised' copy. I'd rather not omit the user table entirely, because if I do ever need to restore the wiki from this copy I'll need it to associate the right account with each edit. Does anyone know which fields contain sensitive data that I should remove? I can see these obvious candidates: user.user_password user.user_newpassword user.user_email user.user_token user.user_email_token Are there any others that are potentially confidential and should not be made public? Many thanks, Adam. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
