Hello mediawiki-l,
On http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Download and other wikipedia download sites I found a tutorial on updating my local database with the wikipedia mysql dump. It says afterwords you have to do a "php rebuildlinks.php". But why? Well, I assume it rebuilds some links but which ones? I thought everything is dynamic in the database, and the only links are in the cur_table, which I updated with a mysql command.
I didn't understand the php source, either.
Or isn't it necessary? Thanks for your answers in advance.
