I - Refactoring in 1.5 ?
On a previous thread (don't ask me where), Rowan Collins (as far as I remember) wrote that in the 1.5 version, the database would be totally refactured. Is the map already available? Will it affect a lot the "links" and "categorylinks" tables?
So far there are no concrete plans to change the links tables. We might change them in the future though.
The main changes in 1.5's schema are outlined here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposed_Database_Schema_Changes/October_2004
