Hello Platonides,
I have been alerted that our backups of the database hadn't been working, which explains the database issue. However, why pages would disappear is a mystery. No maintenance scripts were run.
Thanks, Graham ----------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
Does anyone have some input regarding this issue?
There may be a bug that eats data, but since it's 1.11, there wont be much impetus to find out and absolutely none to fix it.
AFAIK that shouldn't have happened. Much less disappearing from the backups! Note that Wikipedia did run 1.11 at one time, so a random file disappearing is really odd but without being able to view the wiki and/or database, there's little to investigate from here. Did you run some maintenance script which could have affected the revisions (eg. compressOld.php, deleteOldRevisions.php)? Were you using external storage? Maybe if it was externally stored, and the ES server went down... But the entries at page and revision tables should still be there...
