Dear Ariel,
0) Context
I am working towards the next release for WP-MIRROR (0.8) and that entails updating `mwxml2sql' from 1.24 to 1.26.
1) Database Schema for `page' table
There are three fields in the `page' table that require attention: `page_counter', `page_no_title_convert', and `page_lang'.
These fields are present (YES) or not (NO) in three different places:
MediaWiki 1.26: (shell) less maintenance/table.sql `page_counter' NO `page_no_title_convert' NO `page_lang' YES
XML Dump: (shell) zless simplewiki-20150603-page.sql.gz `page_counter' YES `page_no_title_convert' YES `page_lang' NO
mwxml2sql: (shell) mwxml2sql -m 1.24 -s simplewiki-20150603-stub-articles.sql.gz ... (shell) less simplewiki-20150603-page.sql-1.24.gz `page_counter' YES `page_no_title_convert' NO `page_lang' NO
2) XML Dumps
Are there plans to remove `page_counter' and `page_no_title_convert' from the XML dumps? Are there plans to add `page_lang' to the XML dumps?
3) mwxml2sql
Do you have any suggestions for how I should update `mwxml2sql' for MediaWiki 1.26?
Sincerely Yours, Kent
