Description Karin Haenelt 2013-04-22 10:56:58 UTC

If I run the script on the wiki, the database is blown up considerably - due to the addition of messages in about 360 languages which neither our wiki nor any extension to the wiki uses (blown up by about 80.000 records).

It should be possible to restrict the script to a selection of languages (default: English + language of the wiki)

Is database storage a constraint for you?

Comment 2 Karin Haenelt 2013-04-23 08:09:53 UTC

Yes, because we are running a wiki farm, and if we blow up all the wikis on the farm we are running out of disk space

Comment 3 Karin Haenelt 2013-04-23 08:25:44 UTC

currently we are using a very simple "bug fix":
$codes = array_keys( Language::getLanguageNames( true ) ); //1.18.1, and similar in 1.20.2
$codes = array("en", "de", "de-formal"); // our added line

alternative coding:
$wgOurLanguageCodes = array (...);
if ($wgOurLanguageCodes) {$codes = $wgOurLanguageCodes;}
else $codes = array_keys( Language::getLanguageNames( true ) );
