Foreign keys[edit]
why does 1.24.1 database schema.svg don't show the relationship within tables like this File:MediaWiki_1.20_(44edaa2)_database_schema.svg ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxyshine (talk • contribs) 09:04, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

- Because it was a lot of work to maintain, couldn't be automated at the time, and made the graph very busy and full of lines. I believe the graph is more readable now without those lines. Typically, our foreign keys have a clear name that identifies the relevant table. There is also more elaborate documentation on mediawiki.org where all relationships are indicated. For example, mw:DB, on mw: Manual:imagelinks table the page_id field has a link to the page table. I hope that helps
