Manual:Archive table

The archive table is the place where MediaWiki stores information on deleted pages.

The pages may be restored, or undeleted, by a MediaWiki admin>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Administrators|Administrator using the Special:Undelete special>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Special pages|special page.

Beginning in MediaWiki 1.5, the content of the pages remains in the  table; the deletion time is logged in the  table.

When a page is deleted, all its old revisions move from the  table to the archive table.

When a page is then restored, its revisions are removed from the archive table, and recreated in the revision table.

The archive table is broadly related to the  table and  table in layout; since <tvar|gerrit></> it has a primary key: ar_id.

Previous to MediaWiki 1.5, content from the text table was moved here, so individual revisions had non-empty <tvar|artext>ar_text</> contents.

That text could have been compressed, and in those cases, it was marked by <tvar|gzip> </> on the revision's <tvar|arflags>ar_flags</> field.

There is also 1>phabricator:T245234</>|not presently a record of when deletion occurred, making it hard to separate multiple delete cycles or distinguish old deletions from recent deletions of pages that haven't been edited in a long time.

ar_id
Primary key.

ar_namespace
Basic page information: contains the namespace of the deleted revision.

These contain the value in <tvar|pagenamespace></>.

ar_title
Basic page information: contains the page title of the deleted page, which is the same as <tvar|pagetitle></>.

ar_text
Before MediaWiki 1.5, old archived pages saved their text here.

Old archived pages have ar_text_id set to NULL; they do not point to an entry in the text table.

Instead, this field is the place where the text resides.

Restoring content from an old archived page restores the text from this field.

In newly deleted pages (MediaWiki 1.5 and later), the revision text remains in the <tvar|text></> table.

Such newly deleted pages will not store text in the archive table, but will rather reference the separately existing text rows.

However, for text from pages, which have been archived in MediaWiki 1.4 and before, the ar_text field will still be used!

ar_comment
Basic revision information: contains the edit summary of the deleted revision, analogous to <tvar|revcomment></>.


 * <tvar|id>ar_comment_id</> and the <tvar|comment>comment</> table should be used instead!

ar_comment_id
This is a foreign key to <tvar|id></> in the <tvar|comment></> table.

ar_user
Basic revision information: contains the user ID of the user who made the deleted revision; it is the same as <tvar|userid></> and <tvar|revuser></>.

The value for this field is 0 for anonymous edits, initializations scripts, and for some mass imports.

While <tvar|1></> is being done, and depending on the configuration setting <tvar|2></>, this field may be empty and the actor performing the edit can be stored in the <tvar|3>ar_actor</> field instead.

ar_user_text
Basic revision information: This field contains the text of the editor's username, or the IP address of the editor if the deleted revision was done by an unregistered user.

Comparable to <tvar|revusertext></>.

While <tvar|1></> is being done, and depending on the configuration setting <tvar|2></>, this field may be empty and the actor performing the edit can be stored in the <tvar|3>ar_actor</> field instead.

ar_actor
This is a foreign key to <tvar|1></> in the <tvar|2></> table.

ar_timestamp
This field contains the time at which the revision was originally saved.

It is the equivalent of <tvar|revtimestamp></>.

ar_minor_edit
Basic revision information: Records whether the user marked the deleted revision as a <tvar|minoredit></>.

If the value for this field is 1, then the edit is tagged as 'minor'; it is 0 otherwise.

This is equivalent to <tvar|revisiontable></>.

ar_flags
This field is similar to <tvar|oldflags></> in the <tvar|text></> table.

It was added in MediaWiki 1.5, but is most likely unused: For revisions archived with older versions, it is not used as it was not there at the time of their deletion; a conversion, which would have added flags for revisions, which already had been archived when the update to MediaWiki 1.5 or newer was being done, was not applied.

Texts of revisions archived with MediaWiki 1.5 or later do not use this field; they themselves stay in the text table; together with their flags staying in <tvar|manoldflags></>.

ar_rev_id
When revisions are deleted, their unique <tvar|idrev></> is stored here so it can be retained after undeletion.

This is necessary to retain permalinks to given revisions after accidental delete cycles or messy operations like history merges.

ar_text_id
For revisions deleted in MediaWiki 1.5 and later, this is a key to <tvar|1></> within the <tvar|2></> table; that is, it is the key to the stored text in the storage backend.

To avoid breaking the block-compression scheme and otherwise making storage changes harder, the actual text is *not* deleted from the text table; rather, the text is merely hidden by removal of the pagetable>Special:MyLanguage/page table</>|page and revision>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Revision table</>|revision entries.

Comparable to <tvar|revtextid></>.

This column was replaced by.

ar_deleted
This field is reserved for bitfieldsforrevdeleted>Special:MyLanguage/Bitfields for rev_deleted</>|the RevDelete/Suppression (Oversight) system.

Equivalent to <tvar|revdeleted></>.

ar_len
This field contains the length of the deleted revision, in bytes.

Analogous to <tvar|revlen></>.

ar_page_id
Reference to <tvar|pageid></>.

Useful for sysadmin fixing of large pages merged together in the archives, or for cleanly restoring a page at its original ID number if possible.

Comparable to <tvar|revpage></>.

Will be NULL for pages deleted prior to 1.11.

ar_parent_id
The revision id of the previous revision to the page.

Populated from <tvar|revparentid></>.

Will be null for revisions deleted prior to 1.13.

First edits to newly created articles (and therefore the creation of the article) can be identified by the value of this field being 0.

ar_sha1
The SHA-1 text content hash in base-36.

Populated from <tvar|revsha1></>.

ar_content_format
Content format for the archived revision, which is NULL by default and only stored if it differs from the page's default.

This column was removed. The ContentHandler class is able to automatically detect the content format, and replaces this column.

ar_content_model
Content model for the archived revision, which is NULL by default and only stored if it differs from the page's default, as determined by ContentHandler::getDefaultModelFor( $title ).

This column was replaced by, which references.
