Thread:Project:Support desk/Cannot find a category or page listed in the database

MediaWiki 1.23.5 PHP 5.3.5 MySQL 5.5.8 Lua 5.1.4

I'm having trouble finding somepages and categories in my database. I'm not sure if I have configured something incorrectly or if I'm looking in the wrong place. Unfortunetly I can't offer a link to my wiki as it is behind a corporate firewall.

Missing category I have a category called "fuel research". It has a wiki page that is fully functional and to normal users is no different from any other category page, but the category title is not displayed under Special:Categories list. Also, in the database I can't see the name in the category table.

Missing pages As with the category above, I have pages that are visible and appear to function normally on the site, but I can't find their titles in the pages table.

Where could these categories/pages be lurking? What is going on?

Many thanks,

Ben
