Manual:FixMergeHistoryCorruption.php

Details

fixMergeHistoryCorruption.php is a maintenance script to clears rows of pages corrupted by MergeHistory, those pages exist but have no visible revision.

These pages are completely inaccessible via the UI due to revision/title mismatch exceptions in RevisionStore and elsewhere.

These are rows in page table that have page_latest entry with corresponding rev_id but no associated rev_page entry in revision table. Such rows create ghost pages because their page_latest is actually living on different pages (which possess the associated rev_page on revision table now).

--ns Namespace to restrict the query Optional
--dry-run Run in dry-mode which does not delete anything Optional
--delete Actually delete the found rows Optional
