Details

populateContentTables.php is a maintenance script that migrates revision data to account for database schema changes done as part of the Multi-Content Revisions project (creation of the content , content_models , slots , slot_roles tables, deprecation of the concept of content formats).

It was introduced in MediaWiki 1.32.0 (phab:T182682).

This script is run automatically by update.php and processes 500 items in a batch.
