Topic on Project:Support desk

Hi,

I installed MediaWiki 1.32.1 and created some test pages. Furthermore I created Category:Pages with some descriptionary text and added the test pages to categories (inserting Category:Foo in brackets). I can see the categories at the bottom of each page.

When I now try to access Special:Categories the page shows me the categories, but every page has 0 entries.

When looking for the issue, I found several sites which suggested to run the runJobs script which I did. I also set $wgRunJobsAsync = false; and $wgJobRunRate = 3; in my LocalSettings.php. Both changes didn't help. The site api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=jsonfm shows that there are 0 open jobs.

What coudl be the issue here? Do you have other ideas why pages don't get added to category view?

Thanks

Note that changing settings like $wgRunJobsAsync = false; etc when there are 0 jobs to run won't add the categories back. If some jobs failed completely to work, or even to be queued, due to a bad extension or problem with PHP, they won't get added again.

Anyway, $wgRunJobsAsync is false by default. I suggest to remove a category from a page, enable the debug log (see Manual:How to debug) and then add again the category to the page, and see if there's some relevant error on the debug log.

I had the same problem (with MW 1.31) and updating Extension:Cargo the running Manual:rebuildall.php solved it.
