User "Krinkle" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r94289. Full URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/94289#c20672 Commit summary:
* Added rev_sha1 and ar_sha1 columns to revision/archive tables (useful for bug 25312) * Created a script to populate these fields (doesn't handle archive rows without ar_rev_id set though) Comment: So to populate this hash column, the maintenance script would have to fetch the raw wikitext of all public and deleted revisions of all wikis. That's going to open up a lot of possibilities (not sure how useful it is, but more re-using of text_oldids comes to mind when an edit results in the page text being equal to an earlier revision), but I'm curious how long that would take though on WMF. Weeks ? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
