Manual:site_stats table

MediaWiki database layout

site_stats table

The site_stats table contains some aggregate info on the state of the site. If the information from this table is wrong, it can be updated with the initSiteStats.php maintenance script.

Before 1.39, this table contains only one row. Since 1.39, the table may contain multiple rows (currently 10) if $wgMultiShardSiteStats is enabled and all rows should be summed up to get the statistics.

Fields

ss_row_id

Primary key, should contain 1 before 1.39 or if $wgMultiShardSiteStats is disabled.

ss_total_views

MediaWiki version:

≤ 1.25

Total number of page views, if hit counters were enabled. See:
