As far as i know mediawiki core has never used views. It is possible some
extension made it, but it would be an unusual thing to do (for example the
UserSnoop extension makes a view, but not named that). Or maybe a sysadmin
made it for their own purposes at some point.

Hi Taavi,
Thanks for the pointer. I got this automatically when dumping the database
of a rather old version of MediaWiki. Was something like this in pre-1.23
MediaWiki? It would be a surprise, but one never knows.
Cheers, Karsten

That's a MariaDB view[0] definition. Looks
like that one might have been
used to give someone access to the `page`.`page_title` and
`page`.`page_counter` fields without giving them access to the rest of the
page data. Hard to say anything more specific without knowing where you've
got that from.
