Admittedly I cannot tell since I do not know about the technical
dark-age of the wiki. However, some extensions that could have been at
play here may have been used in the past. Currently, it does not use
extensions with its own tables and alike.
Anyhow, the information this does not come from MediaWiki core is
already valuable. I will just kill the offending MySQL lines and
continue happily after. At least, this is the plan.
Thanks to all for your input on this!
Cheers

Do you happen to have a list of the extensions that were installed on that wiki?

As far as i know mediawiki core has never used views. It is possible some
extension made it, but it would be an unusual thing to do (for example the
UserSnoop extension makes a view, but not named that). Or maybe a sysadmin made
it for their own purposes at some point.

Hi Taavi,
Thanks for the pointer. I got this automatically when dumping the database of a
rather old version of MediaWiki. Was something like this in pre-1.23 MediaWiki?
It would be a surprise, but one never knows.
Cheers, Karsten

That's a MariaDB view[0] definition. Looks like that one might have been used
to give someone access to the `page`.`page_title` and `page`.`page_counter`
fields without giving them access to the rest of the page data. Hard to say
anything more specific without knowing where you've got that from.
