Thanks to Andre and Johan for the welcoming message and the tips to start
out in the wikimedia community.
I have been taking my time to look at the different links Andre pointed me

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs, I looked at this
particular bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116759 and I'm confused
on which particular tables.sql file to modify for there are several
versions of it.
