             Bug #: 42135
           Summary: Add page creator index (page.page_creator) to
                    MediaWiki core
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized

        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


There's currently no way to easily get the creator of a page. This makes it
difficult to write reports about who wrote the most articles or make a list of
the pages a person created.

I think it'd be nice to have a page_creator column in the page table to track
who has created a page. It'll have some edge cases like page moves, but I think
this is acceptable.

So this would have four pieces, I guess:

* add a page_creator column to the page table (255 bytes, has to support anon
page creations);
* add an index to this column (so that you can sort by user);
* write a maintenance script to populate this column; and
* fix up Extension:RenameUser to make sure it accounts for this column in user
renames.
