+### Change order during indexing
+
+When reindexing places during updates, there is now a different order used
+which needs a different database index. Create it with the following SQL command:
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX idx_placex_pendingsector_rank_address
+  ON placex USING BTREE (rank_address, geometry_sector) where indexed_status > 0;
+```
+
+You can then drop the old index with:
+
+```sql
+DROP INDEX idx_placex_pendingsector
+```
+
+### Unused index
+
+This index has been unused ever since the query using it was changed two years ago. Saves about 12GB on a planet installation.
+
+```sql
+DROP INDEX idx_placex_geometry_reverse_lookupPoint
+```
+
+### Switching to dotenv
+
+As part of the work changing the configuration format, the configuration for
+the website is now using a separate configuration file. To create the
+configuration file, run the following command after updating:
+
+```sh
+./utils/setup.php --setup-website
+```

+### New Wikipedia/Wikidata importance tables
+
+The `wikipedia_*` tables have a new format that also includes references to
+Wikidata. You need to update the computation functions and the tables as
+follows:
+
+  * download the new Wikipedia tables as described in the import section
+  * reimport the tables: `./utils/setup.php --import-wikipedia-articles`
+  * update the functions: `./utils/setup.php --create-functions --enable-diff-updates`
+  * compute importance: `./utils/update.php --recompute-importance`
+
+The last step takes about 10 hours on the full planet.
+
+Remove one function (it will be recreated in the next step):
+
+```sql
+DROP FUNCTION create_country(hstore,character varying);
+```
+
+Finally, update all SQL functions:
+
+```sh
+./utils/setup.php --create-functions --enable-diff-updates --create-partition-functions
+```
