Hello everybody!

Have question about Manual:Redirect table. Is the table data incomplete now, too? Or redirect table is fine now?

Also, there should be some updates for DB schema. There is at least one new table - wbc_entity_usage (related to Wikidata).

I think the Manual on the Redirect table is fine.

Note that the page DB only lists database tables, which are related to the MediaWiki Core. It does not list tables of extensions. That entity_usage is not listed on that page, is correct.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm talking about this note:

NOTE: as of August 2007, database dumps for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects as provided on http://download.wikimedia.org/ have incomplete data in this table: only redirect pages that have been created or edited recently are present. For older redirects, resort to using the pagelinks table.

My question was: what is the status of it currently - as of August 2015?

About wbc_entity_usage. OK, that seems normal, but where I could find, what DB tables are available for work at quarry?

Since the note says that links after August 2007 will be there and that was eight years ago, I would expect the Redirect table to be almost 100% complete now.
