rebuildall.php is one of the scripts included in the maintenance/ directory of your Mediawiki installation. Its purpose is to rebuild the links and indices used for searching your site.
You should run this script after importing some data into your wiki. It will populate the categorylinks, pagelinks, and imagelinks tables and refresh the search index. It will not import or "register" images (even if they are in upload directory and there are articles referencing them). You should use the rebuildImages.php or importImages.php scripts to do this.

Using the script [edit]
This script must be run from the command line.
If you are using MediaWiki 1.16.x or older: Before running the file, make sure you have an AdminSettings.php file in your wiki directory. If not, rename the AdminSettings.sample file to AdminSettings.php. Then edit the database user name and password in AdminSettings.php, exactly as you did for LocalSettings.php.
Next, open a terminal or command window and change directories to the maintenance subdirectory of the wiki.
Windows [edit]
cd C:\path\to\wiki\maintenance C:\path\to\php.exe rebuildall.php
Linux/Unix [edit]
cd /path/to/wiki/maintenance /path/to/php rebuildall.php
That's all!
Example [edit]
