PageImages stores thumbnail information on links update (roughly, when
a page is edited or one of templates used by it is updated).
To populate this information, use maintenace/refreshLinks.php or
extensions/PageImages/initImageData.php (does the same, but has
fine-grained options to restrict the number of pages restricted which
maters for larger wikis.

Hi,
I have a question on the PageImages MediaWiki extension. I have
installed it on my instanse of MediaWiki apache. It looks like it is
working because with the following hit:
api.php?action=query&prop=pageimages&format=xml&pithumbsize=500&pilimit=10&titles=Paris|Lille|Rennes
I am seeing the following response:
<api>
<query>
<pages>
<page pageid="50116" ns="0" title="Lille"/>
<page pageid="22989" ns="0" title="Paris"/>
<page pageid="46132" ns="0" title="Rennes"/>
</pages>
</query>
</api>
I am not able to see any images info in the response, was expecting to see something
similar to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageimages&form…
In mysql wikipedia DB I have populated image and imagelinks table using dumps from
wikipedia.
I am assuming that this extension uses data from page_images table
which is empty on my instance. How to populate this data (where to get the dump from?).
I would appreciate any answer.
