Hello all,
Our team is refactoring some code around the change tags on Recent Changes. This can impact people using the database on ToolForge.
Currently, the tags are stored in the table
change_tag in the column
ct_tag.
In the next days, we will add a column
ct_tag_id with a unique identifier for these tags. A new table
change_tag_def that will store the tag id, the message, and more information like how many times this tag is used on the local wiki.
On the long term, we plan to drop the column
ct_tag since the tag will be identified with
ct_tag_id.
This change will happen on:
- French Wikipedia: Monday July 2nd
- All other wikis: from July 9th
If there is any problem (trouble with saving edits, slow down of recent changes…) please create a subtask of
T185355 or contact
Ladsgroup.
