Description Jan Ainali 2012-07-14 20:35:48 UTC
Broken out from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1886 

A tool that does what Special:LinkSearch does, but on all projects and
languages.

Need to have:
Total number of links.

Nice to have:
Total number of links per project in one table.
Total number of links per language in one table.
Total number of links per project and language in one table.
From the last table, links to each "local" Special:Linksearch.
All links in one table order by number of occurencies descending.
Languages/projects with no links could be left out of the tablee instead of
showing "0".

Marking as invalid because this is not a possible feature request for MediaWiki.

MediaWiki core does not have a sense of multiple wikis. This is implemented by extensions such as GlobalUsage and CentralAuth. It is up to them to come up (if at all) with an implementation for this.

For now this seems like a good case (for Wikimedia wikis) to use the Toolserver. Especially considering the size and complexity of these tables it is unlikely that this is queryable on the cluster for all wikis.

An extension could be written for this, but it would likely only work with wgMiserMode disabled because of the performance issues.
