Our database quadrupled in size, from 220 MB in March to 933 MB in September, for a MediaWiki 1.20.2 that I host for a friend on a shared hosting account at Dathorn.com. I suspect something may be wrong because the wiki's content has not grown much at all in this same time.
The wiki is Teflpedia.com.

Anyone have a clue what may be causing our database to balloon, or tips what I should check?
Maybe because of cache that is generated.
I notice something similar. After run "update.php" it clear the cache on the database and it went from 800M to 210M. When happened I thought I had lost some data.
