Clone this bug from bug 12188. archive.ar_len should be populated on all Wikimedia wikis. If for no other reason than it causes inconsistencies (null entries) in revision.rev_len when revisions are restored (really a separate bug, but let's just populate everything anyway and be done with it). This bug may require a separate bug to actually add this functionality to MediaWiki core's maintenance scripts. I don't think there's a script that does this currently (populateRevisionLength.php could have an --archive flag, maybe). But this bug is for populating archive.ar_len on all Wikimedia wikis.

Rob L.: I don't believe this bug requires a database schema change or the involvement of a DBA. I believe this is simply a matter of running the relevant maintenance script. Can you please double-check the assigned to field and the relevance of the "schema-change" keyword?
mediawiki.org: rev_len and ar_len population complete [0 revision rows, 36724 archive rows]. real 3m54.716s user 1m18.765s sys 0m11.545s Just needs running everywhere under foreachwiki
Running in screen on terbium. Currently upto cawiki
Is now on etwiki. I guess enwiki took a long time ;)
plwiki
Done. Might be some stale values around (API requests cached in squid/varnish etc) but the populate is complete
