Hi Joaquin,
Completely nothing was done with the community input about not being
able to do cross wiki joins anymore [1]. In the past the WMF would do
something with community input. I guess the new strategy is to just give
the appearance of community input to legitimize a decision. Nice way t
I completely agree with Maarten. It would be a step backward to stop supporting
cross-database joins on wiki replicas. This is a breaking change and should not
be applied unless a feasible solution to the problem is found.

This is the next step after disallowing user databases on replicas. It
broke some of my tools but I recently rewrote them to move joining logic
into my application. I also replicate small amounts of data (e.g. page
titles for a subset of pages) into my user db for joins.
I found it quite off-puttin
