Hi Bill!

A table called "text_new" is not used by MediaWiki. If the wiki works correctly, you can remove it. The text table is expected to contain all the texts, from nearly all the revisions in your wiki. Depending on the size of your wiki, this table can be huge. See DB for an overview of the tables.

For the text table, when you updated to a current version, you might find the notes on the page text table helpful; bottomline: You can remove this column.
