Thread:Extension talk:Recent Pages/Use table recentchanges/reply (2)

It's a possible scenario, yes. But I doubt that a wiki with few articles has much contribution action.

It's not about which table is faster. The point is that an ordered query on the page table is def an expensive query.

While writing I realize that using recentchanges could lead to no new page being listed when there is contribution action but no new pages within $wgRCMaxAge.

I don't care much since I don't use this extension tho.
