Thanks Rob, I ran both scripts listed and all both seem to do is purge everything from the Category pages but not put anything back in them. My wiki isn't too large (about 250 pages) so running these scripts doesn't take long.
Right now none of my pages belong to any Categories and before I ran the script they all did. I could go through one page at a time and resave everything but I'm hoping there is another less tedious solution.
The user account in my AdminSettings.php is my wiki user and that user has full permissions on the database. Should I be using a different user in there, sysop perhaps?
Thanks,
Dylan

I ran the rebuildall.php maintenance script and now all my category pages are blank, is there a way to rebuild them without having to go through and touch every page? I'm running MediaWiki 1.82 on Win2K3.
Running maintenance/rebuildAll.php *should* have run maintenance/refreshLinks.php, which performs a full link table update for all pages on the wiki, so it sounds like something went a bit wrong.
You could attempt to run maintenance/refreshLinks.php and see if it corrects the problem. It can take some time for a large wiki.
