Manual:revision_actor_temp table
| ↑ Manual:Contents | MediaWiki database layout | revision_actor_temp table |
| MediaWiki versions: | 1.31 – 1.38 |
The revision_actor_temp table was a temporary table used for the Actor migration (alongside with revision_comment_temp), creating a relation between each row of the revision table and a row of the actor table.
On large wikis like English Wikipedia, altering the revision table is a months-long process.
This table was created so that other data migrations could be done while the alter was running.
Once adding the rev_actor field to the revision table was done, the data from revision_actor_temp was merged back into the revision table and the table was deleted.
