AFAIK, this kind of information is from serialize[1] and unserialize php functions. See the information from Mediawiki table documentation[2]

Is there a description somewhere of what the log_params mean in this query?

MariaDB [enwiki_p]> select log_params from logging_logindex where log_namespace = 2 and log_title = 'RoySmith-testing' and log_type = 'block' order by log_timestamp asc;
