Manual:Database layout

<- MediaWiki architecture

Most data for the wiki is stored in a database. See MySQL config for setup info.

(Some data lives only in the filesystem, other data is just cached there. Data may also be cached in memcached, but lives permanently in the database.)

See in the source: docs/schema.doc and maintenance/tables.sql

Currently we have the following tables:
 * archive table
 * brokenlinks table
 * cur table
 * image table
 * imagelinks table
 * ipblocks table
 * links table
 * math table
 * old table
 * oldimage table
 * recentchanges table
 * searchindex table
 * site_stats table
 * user table
 * user_newtalk table
 * watchlist table
