Yah, the table is called "page_restrictions", the same as the field in page table.

I think it should be fairly easy to remove page.page_restrictions. It just requires a few schema patches, as I recall.

Can I work on this?

Tinaj1234 added a comment.Jan 16 2014, 12:56 PM

I prepared the schema patches but I'm confused as to what is to be done with Title::loadRestrictionsFromRows which compiles page restrictions from both page table and page_restrictions table. There are many occurences of page_restrictions in WikiPage.php. Should all that be removed?

Existing entries in page_restriction field should be migrated to the page_restriction table.

There is a script for this, updateRestrictions.php, which is run by update.php.

It looks like the part not done already is removing the column, both as a patch and from tables.sql.

Read queries should be removed before the schema patch, preferably in a separate patch.

LiquidThread still selects that column, now causing fatals: T309460.

Ladsgroup added a comment.May 29 2022, 9:59 PM

Sorry about that. Will fix it. I'm sure we didn't have any data loss, it's just fatals.
