Talk:Revtagging

Separation of OLTP/OLAP
"No, in order to answer the above questions we will need to combine revtagging data and data from the MediaWiki database"

When combining revtagging data with online data in the database, can this be done through the API interface or something of this nature? I'm thinking that there is no need to record at-event-time the data that is online as long as the revtag is recorded with the event since the information can be extracted later.

Are there any other requirements here that require intermixing of transactional data and analytical logging? Tychay (talk) 00:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Tagging using Bitmaps
It'll be fast and space-efficient to use bitmaps to implement tagging. enwiki has ~17m users.

MediaWiki core already has a revision tagging feature
I'm a little confused by this page. MediaWiki core already has a revision tagging feature. It's described at Manual:Tags. It involves the following database tables:


 * valid_tag;
 * change_tag; and
 * tag_summary.

Is this tagging system insufficient? If so, why? --MZMcBride (talk) 19:22, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
