Bug #: 31863
Summary: Fix use of DB schema so RenameUser is trivial
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Renameuser
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: ro...@wikimedia.org
CC: aschulz4...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Right now, RenameUser relies on lobbing jobs into the job queue. However, the
job queue is not designed to handle tasks in a reliable, ordered manner.
RenameUser is complicated because of the way we typically pull the user name
from the database. There are several places where we pull denormalized values
for the user_text field in several tables (revision, archive, etc). If we
actually go to the source (user_name field in the user table), then renaming
would be a much cheaper and more robust operation.
Examples of this cleanup are r100286 and r100300. Aaron has done some of this
work, but would like help.
