Commit summary for MediaWiki.r108502: Noticed looking at schema posted by Joerg in bug 33228 It seems many ancient tables (removed mainly in 1.4, and some in 1.6) Kill them with fire, if they've still got unmigrated data in or something, we've got bigger issues! Noticed "user_rights" table is not documented at Manual:Database_layout Duplicatebug's comment: You can always automatically drop old outdated empty tables, because there are no backup for some thing. But tables with data maybe need migration or there are backup for some things or tables from other programms running in the same database. When the migration does not remove the data after the sucessfully migration, than it is not possible to determine, if you can automatically drop table without data lost. Write a Release Note, that this needs manually work. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
