Is mediawiki table structure going to change?
RevisionDelete system is not
friendly for partial replication, but precisely doing things that way is what
[will] allows avoiding the row-copying from revision to archive of the 'old'
deletion system.
sorry, i don't quite follow what you're saying here. we changed the view
definitions on the toolserver when rev_deleted went into use to avoid exposing
this information to the users. we don't use any sort of trigger.
BTW: there is no "partial replication" at the toolserver, although this is a
common misconception. we replicate everything, then use views to expose the
relevant data to users. this is why the foundation won't allow us to add any
more admins; the internal / private wikis are also replicated to the
toolserver, and visible to any admin.
Moreover, any more private method for sharing the
tables (eg. a trigger
deleting the row when rev_deleted is set) would precisely lose the backup
ability the toolserver is performing.
i don't know what you mean by "more private", but the method we use has no
effect at all on how useful the toolserver would be as a backup.
