            Bug ID: 70999
           Summary: log_params isn't always serialized
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.24-git
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Logging

Sometimes log_params isn't serialized. If keys aren't specified, I would think
this would make it harder sometimes to tell at a glance what the data
represents. If keys are specified, though, then one needs to extract the data
using, e.g., substr().

Three examples I notice are changing visibility of revisions and log events;
merging histories; and blocking users (for more details, see [[mw:Manual:Log
actions]]).

When you change visibility of a revision, the raw text inserted into log_params
is, e.g.:

revision
7
ofield=0
nfield=4

Likewise, merging histories generates, e.g.:

Bar
20140916175747

Blocking a user is the same way; something like the following gets inserted:

3 days
nocreate
