Manual:math table

Manual:Contents MediaWiki database layout math table

The math table was used by the math module to keep track of previously-rendered items.

This table is not used in the MediaWiki 1.18 release, and can be safely deleted.

It was, and still is used as part of Extension:Math , however, no core software needs it.
