Thread:Project:Support desk/What makes wiki links go from red to blue/purple?/reply (4)

Apparently, MediaWiki is using the job queue for more things lately, so the refreshlinks / cache jobs need to compete with others. So basically, after you create the page it may take a few jobs until the cache of those pages is refreshed.

Setting $wgJobRunRate to a value less than 1 makes the thing worse.
