Manual talk:User newtalk table

In case you are wondering what this is--as I was. I got this from googling around. --- This table stores all the IDs of users whose talk --- page has been changed (the respective row is deleted --- when the user looks at the page). --- The respective column in the user table is no longer --- required and therefore dropped. --67.186.199.245 04:17, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Interwiki newtalk
I'm thinking that it might not be hard to write an extension to implement interwiki newtalk, if another table were added to store other data (e.g. which wiki the new messages are at) and the user_newtalk table were shared. Leucosticte (talk) 10:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
