Summary: refreshLinks.php forgets redirects Product: MediaWiki Version: 1.16-svn Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: Maintenance scripts AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: jida...@jidanni.org $ php refreshLinks.php --help says --redirects-only : Only fix redirects, not all links which implies that "all links" includes "redirects". But it really should be worded --redirects-only : Only fix redirects, not all links EXCEPT REDIRECTS Because without it, refreshLinks.php forgets to also refresh redirects. This has in turn fooled the author of rebuildall.php into thinking that he is "rebuilding all". But to actually rebuild all, one needs $ php rebuildall.php && php refreshLinks.php --redirects-only So please fix the behavior of refreshLinks.php to reflect its documentation (and not the documentation to reflect the behavior!) By the way, the message "Rebuilding links tables" should add "and category table". Also metion that table in the documentation too. And perhaps the same for redirects, as that table does not have the word "links" in its name... which in fact you could use as an excuse to close this bug, but don't do that, as you still wouldn't have fixed the "implies" problem above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
