 (A note for Nick: This schema seems very popular among the confused users like me, and there were various posts for it in the past. I gathered them together under this common title. Hope you are not offended by this edit:)

 === Current versions of the Schema image === 
 Hi Nick, I've really enjoyed having a print-out of your schema image.  We printed it on a plotter and put it on our wall.  Now, however, we need a more current one.  Can you tell me more about how you created yours?  When I import all the tables I only get two or three connections.  Did you need a lot of manual work to get all the nice colors and links yours has?  Thanks! -Courtney [christensenc {at} battelle {dot} org]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 : Hi Courtney, The short answer is yes, it definitely required manual tweaking/intervention. Specifically, it required all the colored grouping boxes & comment boxes, and (maybe) many of the connections to be added manually - I don't recall exactly about the connections, as it was a while ago, but I do remember it was a bit fiddly to produce an image that I was reasonably happy with. However an update to the schema image would be most welcome - that one is from MediaWiki 1.10, and it's moved forwards since then, so if you're considering producing an updated version it would be very welcomed by myself and others as a handy bit of documentation to visualize the layout.  All the best,    

 Hi Nick (and others came here for a new schema), I am yet another fan of your (unfortunately outdated) schema. I don't know how to but can help for an updated version of the schema -not necessarily such beautiful. I added a placeholder link in mw:Manual:Database layout already. I will appreciate any guidance on the subject.
