--- Comment #6 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
@Brad: Using a prop module might make sense, but the problem there is
usability.

From the application's perspective, title is an arbitrary filter, just like
'user', 'namespace' or 'tag'. It would be a pain if one would have to radically
change the query just to use the title filter.

However if the indexes support it, we might as well do both. I don't see why we
wouldn't implement a 'rctitles'. I'm rephrasing the bug back to how it was. In
this case the main purpose (and why I filed the bug) is to be able to filter by
title on the recentchanges query.

Another problem is that (afaik) prop wouldn't work on pages that have been
renamed or wear a different title now. e.g. it wouldn't be querying
rc_title/rc_namespace but page_namespace/page_title/page_id, and
rc_namespace/rc_title, which is not going to work as it will miss edits made
before and between renames of a page.

We'd have to map it to rc_cur_id inside the prop query.

Anyway, builing a prop module for getting recent changes made to one or more
pages is nice, but not what this bug is asking for (plus, it'd need an extra
index).
