Well, it, rebuildrecentchanges.php, says:
* Rebuild link tracking tables from scratch. This takes several
* hours, depending on the database size and server configuration.
Looking at the code, it shouldn't take that long for most wikis.
Therefore, one is forced to use Special:Import, lest
one face hours of
rebuilding from scratch as the price for just importing one or two
pages. Therefore if one would like to do things in batch mode instead
of being chained to a GUI, one must make a LWP::UserAgent script to
interact with Special:Import.
Well, has one tested the script against one's database? One would hate
to think one was depriving oneself of the solution on the basis of a
comment one found in one's files, wouldn't one?
