Manual:Slot roles table

Manual:Contents MediaWiki database layout slot_roles table
MediaWiki version:
1.31

The slot_roles table is a normalization table for role names. It is used by the slots table.

In PHP code, normalization is managed via NameTableStore.

It was introduced in MediaWiki 1.31 as part of the Multi-Content Revisions project; see Multi-Content Revisions/Content Meta-Data for details. During migration from older versions, the table is populated by populateContentTables.php (run automatically by the upgrade script).

Fields

role_id

Primary key.

role_name

Description of the name of the role.
