I also considered the possibility of adding it on the text table. There it could go without a schema change, just as anoher field of the object. But it's too risky. We have already corrupted objects in the past. And it wouldn't be a check as good as bein in revision (eg. suppose that text_ids were mismatched). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
