> Marc, as a regular user of this data, that's very unintuitive.

Indeed it is, albeit clearly documented at:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help#Tables_for_revision_or_logging_queries_involving_user_names_and_IDs

This is what I meant by 'least surprise'; if you use the revision view, you get
the expected (every row) result.

If you have a where clause on rev_user or rev_user_text (that isn't IS NULL for
the obvious reason) then you *also* get every row you would have gotten from
revision.

The unintuitive result occurs /only/ if you use revision_userindex while not
also selecting on the value of rev_user.  This is why the _userindex table was
not made the default.
