Metrics/MediaWiki queries

From MeeGo wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
A word of warning with MediaWiki: when initialising the database, a table prefix is used for table names, which is configured on a per-wiki database (this allows different MediaWiki instances to be stored in the same database instance, which is kind of a useless feature, but anyway...). On wiki.meego.org, this prefix is set to "", while the detault MediaWiki prefix is "mw_", and this is what I used. Ideally, we would do like Wikipedia, and have a set of parameters containing the table names which would be used: 
${revision}
instead of 
mw_revision

MediaWiki database schema

MediaWiki uses 41 different tables in version 1.15. Not all of them are useful for community metrics. Those with potentially useful information are:

  • mw_page: Each page in the wiki has one entry in the "page" table, containing the name of its creator, a unique ID, and a pointer to the latest revision.
  • mw_revision: Every edit made in the wiki is recorded in the revision page. Information recorded includes the author, timestamp, and a pointer to the text of the page after the revision
  • mw_text: Contains the page text for a given revision of a given page. Potentially content analysis possible.
  • mw_user: Allows cross-referencing of usernames and user IDs, among other things.


What follows is the schema for the "important" tables (user, page, revision, text)

Table 'user' 


CREATE TABLE `mw_user` (
  `user_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
