This will allow removing hacks like https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FFlow.git/f0921bd9c7e9a03ef5ebc2a634a05827ddc21e00/includes%2FReferenceClarifier.php#L54 .
@werdna has a patch for this, which we should pick up: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/136280 .
This will most likely affect any cross-wiki work we do, such as cross-wiki personal feeds.
Note to DBAs: Phase 1 of the SQL is already done.

Change 136280 had a related patch set uploaded (by Mattflaschen):
Segregate Reference objects by source wiki.
This is also already partly in production (only phase 1), so it's an awkward in-progress state that differs from master and local testing (and probably Beta).

@Etonkovidova This is a multi-phase task. You can do regression testing now and look at the DB, but it will only really be done when T108104: Remove wgFlowMigrateReferenceWiki is (or at least that's removed from the config).
Also, for prod we need to do the remaining phases (4, 5, 6) of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/136280/ after it rolls out to all production wikis.

This task has "Unbreak now" priority but is blocked by T113245 (which has not seen any update for four weeks) and T111084. Is this realistic?
T113245: Set wgFlowMigrateReferenceWiki to false in production is in QA Review (done, but pending QA). It previously had an inaccurate blocker. I have pinged @Etonkovidova about QA-ing it.
T111084: Do backfill and final schema change for "Segregate Reference objects by source wiki." is being worked on (or will be soon); @jcrespo posted on it yesterday.
The Unbreak Now is accurate. It's just that the user-impacting parts are already fixed, but the overall task is not.
