MediaWiki CVS statistics

As my first toolserver project I've made some statistics of the
activity in our CVS repository. I made aggregated statistics of the
whole repository[1] as well as statistics for individual modules[2].
You'll see per commiter statistics there, LOC statistics, file &
directory statistics and changelogs. Addidionally I've put the raw CVS
changelogs up there too[4], and finally the whole thing can be
downloaded[3] for local viewing & hacking, just make sure you're
*ahem* adhering to the license[5].

Thanks for this cvs analysis. The distribution of activity per author
is typical as well as other distributions. If you look around for 
general tools and projects in quantitative measurement of open source 
software you'll stumble upon the Libresoft group at the Universidad Rey 
Juan Carlos, Madrid:

For instance have a look at:

database names are changing

hi,

i was looking at memory usage on zedler recently, and discovered that grant 
tables are using a significant amount of memory.  i have implemented a 
better solution, but as a side-effect, names of databases are changing.  
from now on, each database X should be accessed as X_p (e.g.: "enwiki_p").  
the old names will stop working shortly (sooner rather than later, since i 
would like to reclaim the wasted memory).

also, the "rc_filtered" and "ar_filtered" tables will be known as 
"recentchanges" and "archive" instead.

this will free about 2GB of RAM to be used by InnoDB, which should improve 
performance.

please update the toolserver.wiki table accordingly.

Thanks,

Legality of a Deleted Edits Lister

Hey there,

I was helping a user yesterday restore some images that shouldn't  
have been deleted, and in the course of helping them I have crafted a  
deleted edit lister, similar to kate's. I was wondering about the  
legality of a deleted edits lister sans comments, and with an opt-out  
feature for specific revisions, and specific users.

Kate told me I could just steal hers and use it, as long as i didn't
give the public access to it.

You can't do any sort of password authentication though, so it'll
basically be for you and a few admin friends.

I never got around to doing that.

templatelinks

Hi

MW now has a templatelinks table for tracking template inclusions, but i 
don't see those on the toolserver.

It would be very helpful to me to have those

Proposal: SQL Query Scheduling

I've only been here for a few days, and I have already noticed a  
large issue with users running queries that may take several hours,  
without any notification to other users of the tools server, often  
resulting in replication lag. While notifying the users of the tools  
server will not exactly be a big help, a query that is intended to  
take up a large chunk of time could be shown to users of the tool  
server for help with any possible optimizations that may result in  
speed increases with your query. As well, a query can be  
strategically placed to run at times when the tool server is at low  
activity (possibly during the night.)

Just a thought.
