DynamicRefreshLinks jobs are meant in cases where links vary pretty much
randomly (e.g. you have something on the page causing a low cache time).
The idea being that code like [[category:Foo {{CURRENTHOUR}}]] should have
categories refreshed regularly and not just during edit.The RefreshLinksDynamic jobs arent critical for MediaWiki running properly, you can disable them (I think) by setting $wgJobClasses[refreshLinksDynamic]='NullJob'; This would of course mean pages with dynamic wikitext do not get their links updated except when edited. -- brian On Tuesday, December 19, 2017, Michael Erdmann <erdm...@diqa-pm.com> wrote: > Hello fellow MW developers, > > in a private Wiki I have strange issues with refreshLinksDynamic Jobs, that pop up apparently without reason. In particular I even have a loop between 2 pages. After page 1 is refreshed MW thinks it needs to refresh page 2.
