I have an older wiki, which I updated to MW 1.18.1. I ran the maintenance script update.php and it finished without errors. When I now compare the DB scheme of that wiki with a wiki, which has been newly set up with MW 1.18.1, there are two kinds of differences in the database layout: First: Columns of the type integer are not updated to the newest length. For example I have several columns which are defined as int(8) like `cl_from` int(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', where in the new DB it is `cl_from` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', Second: Many columns are of the type char or varchar, while according to the new scheme they are supposed to be binary. For example I have `cl_to` varchar(255) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL default '', where in the current DB scheme it is `cl_to` varbinary(255) NOT NULL default '', I think those updates should still be done.
