slots table

MediaWiki version:

≥ 1.31

The slots table represent an n:m relation between revisions and content objects. A content object can have a specific "role" in one or more revisions. Each revision can have multiple content objects, each having a different role.

The table was introduced in MediaWiki 1.31 as part of the Multi-Content Revisions project; see Multi-Content Revisions/Content Meta-Data for details. During migration from older versions, the table is populated by populateContentTables.php (run automatically by the upgrade script).

Fields

slot_revision_id

Reference to revision.rev_id or archive.ar_rev_id. slot_revision_id and slot_role_id together comprise the primary key.

slot_role_id

Reference to slot_roles.role_id

slot_content_id

Reference to content.content_id

slot_origin

The revision.rev_id of the revision that originated the slot's content. To find revisions that changed slots, look for slot_origin = slot_revision_id.
