Question to the database experts:
- How can the database of MediaWiki 1.5.x safely be pruned
( in order to actually remove the oldest revisions of Article, Talk,
User and User_talk pages ) ?
An older answer given to me begin of 2005 was
DELETE FROM old WHERE old_timestamp < '20050101000000'; or whatever
Is it safe to use this statement or is another one recommended ?
If you find a good way of doing this (possibly Brion's suggestion), can you add
a page on meta with simple instructions? I'm sure other people (me especially)
would like a safe way of doing this.
