[Mediawiki-l] How to reduce database size

[Andy Roberts]

I'm running close to a limit of mySQL database size for the level of
hosting service I'm on.

I bet there's some unused records in there taking up unnecessary space.
Can anybody suggest an easy, safe way of compacting the database
somehow please?

The mediawiki was set up as a  1.3, upgraded to 1.5  and current versions are

#  MediaWiki: 1.5.0
# PHP: 4.4.1 (apache)
# MySQL: 4.0.26-standard-log
