This will run several minutes! *Maybe* you should take the site offline for
that, so the database doesn't get cunfused between user edits and that
script.
Note also that it probably will fail, since there seems to be some
actual trouble accessing the "unlinked" table in the database, so the
script will just be pumping links into a black hole. :(
Unfortunately, I don't know what's really wrong there or how to fix it;
the most descriptive error message I've managed to get claims "cannot
open file: 'unlinked.MYD'"; Jason says the file does in fact exist,
which implies that it is likely corrupted. Error logs on the server may
be more helpful in diagnosing the problemo; also try "myisamchk" or
other tools for possible recovery.
However, the data in the "linked" and "unlinked" tables can, if need
be,
be tossed away and regenerated via the script if the tables are
recreated successfully. (See the table setup commands in wikipedia.sql.)
