'recentchanges' table on Beta Cluster wikis storing 'rc_ip' data older than 90 days
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Beta Cluster wikis are storing IP data for longer than 90 days in the recentchanges table too. Since rECHU is not installed there, purgeOldData cannot be run due to the hard requirement of $this->requireExtension ( 'CheckUser' );.

In order to comply with the Wikimedia privacy policy, a script should be created and run to clean all that old IP data, setting all rc_ip data older than 90 days to an empty string.

Event Timeline

Sorry, wrong reading of the data output + mix of other data confused me. The oldest queriable data is from 20180119124040, so this should be okay as long as the data cannot be obtained elsewhere.
