“ Rethink time Yes, I know you groan every time I try one of these newfangled "thought" things. Nevertheless if your sole purpose in this exercise is to locate all instances of (specifically) {{font-size-x}} used in Page:-space pages which are invoked with first parameter set set to a specific value (80%,90% etc.) why not modify the base template to create a (series of) temporary tracking categories, which you can as a sysop delete later on—at the same time cleaning up the template of course—when you have finished your maintenance? ”

“ If you choose to go down this path then there is a race-condition (maybe that is why you have been lucky and I have not: perhaps your fast internet connection has saved you?) under which occasionally the script gets confused and mistakenly analyses the input fields of an edit session—with the result that normal template calls may be marked incorrectly with consequences outlined above. ”

“ Would you know where the value of a template like Font-size-x is stored in the database. I looked at these 10 records extracted from "enwikisource_p", but couldn't find it. Spent an hour studying the schemas linked to the "page" and the "templatelinks" table but could't find it. — Ineuw talk 15:01, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
USE enwikisource_p; SELECT page.*, templatelinks.* FROM templatelinks INNER JOIN page ON page.page_id = templatelinks.tl_from WHERE templatelinks.tl_title = ('Font-size-x') AND page.page_namespace = 104 LIMIT 10; Are you sure this is what you want to do?
