Thread:Project:Support desk/Updating without Updating * from namespace fields in links tables./reply (3)

thanks, but its not possible to " use the maintenance script, to populate the fields" [later] because the update.php will restart the population of the fiels if I just break the update.php and restart it again, and there is no option to skip the population. But populateBacklinkNamespace.php has an option to start indexing from a specific number which is nice. The private wiki had 600.000 pags so its a long process. It took really long time to add the extra fields...
