Manual talk:Text table

Can someone explain how this links with page?


 * See revision table and page table.


 * There really was not much of a word here. I added an extensive description. --88.130.69.106 13:47, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

OK to delete row when already deleted corresponding revision?
Hello, some spammers made my text table explode, I've got now many rows with 2 MB. I have deleted the corresponding revisions with deleting the page and restoring only spam-free revisions (as described on Manual:Administrators. But in the text table, the spam rows are still there. Is it OK to delete them? --Jorges 17:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Revisions or versions
The sentence says The text table holds the wikitext of individual page revisions. Could it better say The text table holds the wikitext of individual page versions? Plural revisions implies past revisions, whereas plural versions implicates the current revision as well.

But please, most importantly, Does one text table hold both current and past wikitext? I'm used to hearing, as is written here, that the revisions database is a different entity than a the database. But here it sounds like both page (table) and revisions link to one text, so that in reality a wiki is just one database. Cpiral (talk) 19:37, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
