its just a matter of matching page titles, if there is a page in namespace 0 and a page in namespace (article and article talk) with the same title they go together. its fairly simple

Dear dev's,
I am wondering whether the Mediawiki db contains a foreignkey relationship between a main namespace article and the associated talk page (if present). Having this information would greatly simplify analytic projects to monitor editor behaviour and understanding revert behaviour (among other topics).
Currently, I am manually matching these two sets of pages by matching titles. I have two questions:
- If this foreignkey does not exist, would it be worthwhile to create it?
- If this foreignkey does exist, what would it take to expose this in
the XML dumps?
Best regards,
Diederik
