Related to bug 54847. I'd like the ability to regularly read a report that shows the differences between the Labs database replicas and the production databases. This would be helpful for: * finding new core or extension table columns or databases that have been deployed that aren't yet exposed via a view; and * analyzing what can and can't be additionally exposed (for example, watchlist and archive). Basically this is a request for a regularly updated status report (or diff) between the two data sets. What's available on production vs. what's available on Labs.
Providing schema-only dumps of the databases from the Labs side and the production would allow for nice-ish diffs, maybe.
I think that a good start would be to add a list of the missing tables and columns to the page below. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help#Database_access
