Dear Nick,
apologies for my incredibly late reply, it is very ungracious of me.
Running runjobs correctly updates the links and turns them into blue. I
have not tried with the browser in incognito yet because meanwhile I
disabled the Mediawiki-based caching, seemingly solving the problem. So I'm
tempted to say it was a server-side issue. I'm hoping that the 150 or so
occasional users of the wiki won't load the server to the point that
caching will be necessary. Still, I am puzzled as to why the job queue
continued to grow no matter the http requests from my browser and
the $wgJobRunRate set to 1. Perhaps I'm not understanding how the job queue
works.
Again, apologies for the late reply and thank you for your help!
Kind regards,
Manu

Two Yeah things might be happening.
Try opening the page with the red link in a private/incognito mode tab to
check if it is your browser caching or the server.
second try running runjobs.php and ensuring that its just not a queue issue

Greetings,
quick intro: I have been a mediawiki user for a long time (wikipedia and
within companies) but I only had a couple of stints at administering
one. I
am in the process of setting one up for my
neighborhood - or about 65
families.
It pretty much all works but as my neighbors includes anything from very
hightech people to very lowtech grandpas I have to put extra-care in
making
sure there are no counter-intuitive things
happening.
One of the counter-intuitive things that -is- happening is that when I
create a new page from a pre-existing redlink the link does not become
blue
until I use the /purge action in the URL. I
checked with showJobs.php and
the job to update the page's cache is there. Somehow however, the jobs do
not get triggered. I.e. as $wgJobRunRate is set to the default (1), every
http request should take one job off the queue, right? But I'm not seeing
this. It seems like the queue just gets longer.
I'm wondering, is this perhaps something that has to do with short urls?
(they are otherwise functional) Or anything else in my .htaccess? It just
seems like mediawiki doesn't see some page reloads or some newly created
pages as enough to trigger the jobs queue to move forward.
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Manu
