[Mediawiki-l] Help with images lost in database upgrade

[stephane ancelot]

Hi,

I have had the same problem a few weeks ago, I managed to solve it  
launching a script in the maintenance directory (it is  a bit long  
running), I do not remember which one, but I think it was rebuildImage

Please advice if it helped.
Best Regards
Steph
