Flow uses a cross-wiki database (on the extension1 cluster). We need some way to point maintenance operations at it. Normally you indicate the database (and the version of MediaWiki) using the --wiki=flowdb option, but this fails because "flowdb" is not in wikiversions.cdb, and there are probably other assumptions that the wiki option is more than just database name. A separate --wikidb= option expresses the intent better. Aaron already wrote the patch, Gerrit change #100707, we just need to backport it to wmf6 for Flow deployment.
Change 100909 had a related patch set uploaded by Spage: Added --wikidb param to sql.php (backport to wmf6) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/100909
Change 100909 merged by jenkins-bot: Added --wikidb param to sql.php (backport to wmf6) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/100909
I assume this is FIXED as the patch was merged. If it is not, please reopen and elaborate what more is needed. Thanks!
