Thread:Project:Support desk/Is it possible to force MediaWiki update a certain Category:XXX page?

Hi.

Is it possible to force MediaWiki update a certain Category:XXX page? For example, a lot of pages used templates that referred a category "Templates" causing every such page to be included to the "Template" category. That's obviously wrong. I have already fixed the templates by wrapping the "Templates" category into the noinclude tag, so now every page that use these templates are no longer categorized as "Templates". That's fine.

Article source: Template source BEFORE the fix: This page is a stub Rendered article BEFORE the fix: This page is a stub Categories: Templates | Stubs Category Templates BEFORE the fix: Article Template:Stub Template source AFTER the fix: This page is a stub Rendered article AFTER the fix: This page is a stub Categories: Stubs Category Templates AFTER the fix: Article <--- this is wrong Template:Stub

But the list in the Category:Template seems to be frozen for really long time. I do remember that I had a similar case a half year ago, and I clearly watched the number of pages decreased slowly, but constantly. Now it got stuck. Is any categorization update status page available? (I'm almost sure that I remember someone told me it's performed by a background job) Or what am I doing wrong?


 * MediaWiki: 1.23.6
 * PHP: 5.4.38

Thanks in advance.
