This RFC is a proposal to change how we store content model and format in the page, revision, and archive tables. This has mainly come up as we are changing namespaces from a default content model of "wikitext" to "flow-board".
This was approved in a meeting in 2015, but we didn't have an implementation plan, so in August 2016, we're revisiting it. The choices in front of us:
a. Implement this RFC as originally approved
b. Implement a modified proposal fully described by T142980, with one extra table but no new columns, to also cater to the needs of multi content revisions (T107595).
c. Start over
