I deleted one hundred pages via the API, but they still all appear blue and listed alphabetically in the Category they were in. When you click thru, you get to a "This page has been deleted" notice.

I tried running some of the maintenance scripts (runJobs, refreshLinks, updateArticleCount, rebuildrecentchanges), none of them had any effect. What did work was opening the category page to edit it, and then resaving.

"?action=purge" also works. Is there a maintence script which will accomplish this for all/some pages?
