No feature flag, and also not deployed on WMF wikis. Asking for schema changes by the time we branch tomorrow is just unfair
This reverts commit e478c230f6.
Change-Id: I125c30e76fa04679cc04ae7b8728ae3a61f35194
The existing field to differentiate between kinds of recentchanges rows is
the rc_type field. We want to allow extensions to insert their own custom
data into recentchanges, but we have learned via the NS_* series of constants
that requiring extensions to "register" a specific number is very error prone.
The solution, which this commit implements the first phase of, is to utilize
a new 16 byte string field rc_source. Within that field change types will be
prefixed strings such as 'mw.edit' and 'mw.new'.
This commit adds the new field and begins populating it with data. At some
point in the future the rc_type field will be dropped. While WMF wiki's will
simply wait out the 30 day recentchanges history, other wiki's have the option
of letting update.php populate rc_source, or manually applying the db change and
utilizing the PopulateRecentChangeSource maintenance script.
