This bug covers far more than two fields. If you'd like a full list of missing tables and fields from the public dumps, I can put one together. The English Wikipedia has over 19,000,000 registered users. While the MediaWiki Web API can be used to retrieve some of this information, are we really suggesting that polling the API 3,800 times (this assumes batches of 5,000) is the best way to dump the user table? That seems kind of insane. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
