In this case, I want to trigger an action that

made a change to the extension and now many entries in externallinks are wrong. A null
edit in each article would cause its external links to be corrected in the externallinks
table.
I tried running maintenance/refreshLinks.php, but it doesn't complete because some
extensions (used by articles) are throwing errors.
So you should fix those errors...
I could also do a SQL update on the externallinks
table, modifying the URLs (el_to values) directly. It works, but I'd rather have
MediaWiki modify the data than me.
