Hi,
I'm new to mediawiki and my mediawiki started working 2 days before.
First, I've no idea where is convenient to seach in the mailing list
archives, so I post a question here.
The situation is that the wiki is only used by serveral people, and we don't
care the history of all pages. In addition, the wiki is run on a webhost
with a limited size of mysql database.
I know that changes tracking is one of the most important features of
mediawiki. But I just worry about the database size it will consume.
Question:
1. Will the "changes tracking" consume a lot of space?
2. Is there any way to disable this feature?
Thanks very much.
Allen
You shouldn't hit a maximum size just by the history of a few pages.
If want to remove them later, you can run the scripts
deleteOldRevisions.php and purgeOldText.php to remove the histories and
free space.
