Hi All,
There's a very rough draft diagram of MediaWiki 1.10's DB schema at: http://files.nickj.org/MediaWiki/mediawiki-db-schema-v1-cropped.png
Very high chance of errors / omissions / stuff-ups, so comments and corrections and suggestions welcome.
Thank you. This is great stuff, very helpful, and a lot of work on your part.
In examining the diagram, I see one line, from the hit_counter box, that appears to run through the revision box to the page box. This kind of layout work is hard, but rerouting the line would probably be worth the gain in clarity.
I love the colored boxes separating functional sections.
I hope you make this generally available.
Maybe, if you include documentation of the tools used to produce the diagram and provide their intermediate files, you will be able to get others to help with revisions when the schema changes.
Thanks again,
Jim Laurino
