They can be restored from backup if anyone wants to.
imagelinks tables have been cleared as we forgot to add them to the
backup job. There were problems in the to begin with, so we should
regenerate them anyway when the opportunity arises.
archive tables were not backed up. If there is great desire for them it
may be possible to retrieve them from the old database files.
Backup dump is available, though enwiki needs some tweaking so don't
download it quite yet.
We should be able to set up a slave server and *keep the fricking' thing
in sync* this time. I hope. sigh.
Ariel has crashed a couple times in the last day so it's not reliable at
present. Might be hardware, might be software. Needs testing. Will
probably use another machine as a slave.
