One problem with that is that you won't get such good compression ratios. Most of the revisions of a single article are very similar to the revisions before and after it, so they compress down very small. If you break up the articles between different blocks you don't get that advantage (at least, not to the same extent). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
