Manual:Primary key storage in other fields

This is a page to track primary key storage in other fields in the core and in extensions used on WMF wikis. Nearly all of the primary keys are auto-incrementing numerical keys. Exceptions are marked accordingly. log_search.ls_value is not included here, but it can contain any number of primary keys.
