Hey, Using the new table as backend of Special:Tags (and similar APIs) is now enabled everywhere. Contact me if there's any issues with that.

Hello, One update regarding this. We enabled using the new table for Special:Tags in several large wikis which caused a massive improvement in the performance of the page. For example loading Special:Tags on Wikidata used to take around a minute and now it takes less than a second. English Wikipedia is down from ten seconds to less than one and so on.
There is a lot of work needs to be done and maintenance scripts is being ran to backpopulate the ct_tag_id column in change_tag table (If you want to follow the progress, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193873) and then we need start reading from the new table in mediawiki and finally we can drop ct_tag column entirely. If you want to help in review, writing code or anything, just let me know.

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 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185355 or contact Ladsgroup https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ladsgroup.
