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,
