            Bug ID: 55953
           Summary: Create maintenance script that backs up everything but
                    the tables and fields containing sensitive data
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Maintenance scripts
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

dumpBackup.php apparently dumps just the revisions and log events. There should
be a script that will dump everything except the tables and fields containing
sensitive data (i.e. stuff listed at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_fields_containing_sensitive_data
). There should be new configuration settings, $wgSensitiveFields and
$wgSensitiveTables, whose default values are set in DefaultSettings.php.
Extensions, e.g. CheckUser, can add fields and tables to these arrays. The
backup dumper will exclude those fields and tables from the backups.
