How/where do I report a bug in the export/Import function?

As described (Topic:Uye29i84q604oqjw ) I am having serious problems when importing pages that contains category references. That is the categories are not updated/maintained - I tried to create a category prior to the import. From this there are these symptoms:

  • The pre-created category is populated only with new pages.
  • New Categories are created (when I import pages containing categories), they are blank but can be updated.
  • Imported pages can not be categorized, placing them in the existing/new or imported categories does not work... !
  • (There seems to be a short delay on the registration - indicating that the job queue is actually running?)

(...can I otherwise verify that the job queue is running? Is that shown on some of the special pages or in a log?)


Please help - since this is a new/blank Wiki I can open this up to anyone that may want to try to import/test their own pages. Once the bug has been found I will start over..

All bug reports should be made in phabricator with an accurate reproduction scenario.

To correct, you can run the script Manual:Rebuildall.php to force an update of all the indexes.

Thanks, I do not have access to run PHP from a command line, so I did try to reinstall/update using the /mw-config/ option, but that did not rebuild the indexes. Is there any other ways to this, or do I need to move to a server/host that will allow me to run PHP? (I have a few other reasons to do so, but I have some 400 wiki pages and those was what I would really want to work with ... :-O )


Is there no other ways to run the rebuild the indexes (and to do other maintenance jobs without PHP comandline?)...
