Hey MediaWikians,
I've been working with some MediaWiki installations for almost 2 years now and I keep learning more from looking up question, reading this list, and finding what I need to use in the code. So now I have a new question and I have looked in mailing list archives and mediawiki.org but I haven't found a definitive list.
What are the suggested maintenance tasks that should be run on a regular schedule?
I've been occasionally running rebuildall, mostly when category sorting goes a little funky. I just read Aryeh's note mentioning populateCategory being a good one, and last week someone was proclaiming the wonders of database recovery cron-jobs.
So, what wiki maintenance should be done on, say, a weekly basis for a small internal wiki?
Thanks very much! Courtney Christensen
