I'm trying to reduce the size of a large text table in one of our mediawikis. I ran the maintenance script deleteOldRevisions.php, but after I was done the text table was still the same size.
What am I misunderstanding regarding the procedure ? What does this indicate ? thanks, Lori
IIRC deleted article revisions go into the archive table, so it's this table that will have entries removed by the script. deleteOldRevisions *will* reduce the size of your database (assuming there were any deleted revisions to delete).

That script doesn’t delete deleted revisions. It deletes revision history. I would look at your database to compact/release space that has been freed
