I've gone ahead and made another change to the
schema which I'd
originally passed over.
The links and brokenlinks tables are now merged to a single pagelinks
table, which records the namespace+title key pair of target links rather
than the page ID or the prefixed title.
Just a quick suggestion (once again) that the opportunity is taken to
merge in the categorylinks, imagelinks, etc tables as well (see
comments on bug 1065, various posts in the mail archive, etc) while
things are being changed (i.e. before 1.5 goes stable). If nothing
else, keeping the schema relatively stable (as opposed to lots of
little changes in future releases) ought to minimise the pain to users
while big Wikimedia databases are upgraded. I know, "so do it
yourself", but I just thought I'd keep it in the general consciousness
that this needs doing...
