There is no such thing as merging indices.

There is an index on (img_user_text, img_timestamp), we could use that. However, we'd have to sort and page by timestamp instead of name (kind of annoying since timestamps aren't necessarily unique), and we couldn't support any other limiting parameters (aisha1, aiprefix, etc.) in combination with aiuser.

Well, then we're pretty screwed already, as we are sorting by img_name and have conditions on img_size, which are two separate indices.

We should first make sure that img_name is included in all indices.

tracking to bug 22744, maybe someone has time to look at the indices.

Perhaps because there is now
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allimages&aiuser=Rillke&aisort=timestamp

I don't know whom to thank but ... Thank you!

Just to be sure, you mean that this report has been FIXED?

Marking as such, please revert if I was too optimistic. Also, does anybody know in which release was this fixed?

Was added with gerrit 23984 along with aisort=timestamp

Unfortunately there are many bugs without actions in the past years ...
