No idea. Maybe it's the same reason that THERE IS A TABLE MISSING FROM THE DATABASE? The "unlinked" table is still inaccessable... "Can't open file: 'unlinked.MYD'. (errno: 145)"

I most sincerely hope that there's a backup of the database more recent than March 21.

The file is, in fact, still there. I don't know how much that means if it is unreadable...

I don't know, but it still doesn't work. :(

The error message on every page load seems to have been repressed for now, but:

* Explicit SQL queries to the unlinked table give the already mentioned error, "Can't open file: 'unlinked.MYD'. (errno: 145)".

* special:WantedPages comes up with nothing, and notes PHP errors on the lines that deal with the query to the unlinked table.

* Doing a "Pages that links here" gives PHP errors on the lines that deal with the request to the unlinked table, and thus no longer can give results for pages that don't exist yet.

* Saving a new page may also have some problems in this vein, since it should be checking the unlinked table for pages that linked to the newly created page and thus need their caches cleared to mark the link as existing. (in wikiPage::ensureExistence())
