When all this was redone to have "page" and "revision" and "text" (r6710 <http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/6710>), the "old" table was just renamed to "text" since most of the text was already in that table. Which is why all the fields in text use "old_" as a prefix. It seems that the extraneous columns weren't dropped on all wikis. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
