Change Details

The most recent version of each image is stored in the `image` table, with historic versions stored in the `oldimage` table. This structure resembles `cur` and `old`, with all the nastiness that comes with it. In MW 1.5 we ditched `cur`/`old` in favor of `page`/`revision`, but we never did a similar thing for files. We talked about this a bit at the 2011 Amsterdam Hackathon and decided that, while it's complex and hairy, we want to do it at some point in the future. --- Approved RFC: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/image_and_oldimage_tables>
