With low activity wikis, I have found that creating a cron of runjobs.php
works best. Relying on the default behavior only gets a fraction of the
total jobs run.

Dear Nick,
apologies for my incredibly late reply, it is very ungracious of me.
Running runjobs correctly updates the links and turns them into blue. I
have not tried with the browser in incognito yet because meanwhile I
disabled the Mediawiki-based caching, seemingly solving the problem. So I'm
tempted to say it was a server-side issue. I'm hoping that the 150 or so
occasional users of the wiki won't load the server to the point that
caching will be necessary. Still, I am puzzled as to why the job queue
continued to grow no matter the http requests from my browser and
the $wgJobRunRate set to 1. Perhaps I'm not understanding how the job queue
works.
Again, apologies for the late reply and thank you for your help!
Kind regards,
Manu

Two Yeah things might be happening.
Try opening the page with the red link in a private/incognito mode tab to
check if it is your browser caching or the server.
second try running runjobs.php and ensuring that its just not a queue

One of the counter-intuitive things that -is- happening is that when I

Thoughts?
