Summary: importImages.php Problem
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.13.3
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I downloaded all the images from one MediaWiki, put them in a folder on my
CentOS server and used the maintenance script importImages.php to import them.
This worked fine for the most part. I used the overwrite option so images
already in my wiki were replaced, however. We had some articles in place
already that had Image: Deadlinks in them.
For example one article had a deadlink to Image:Book1.png, after all my images
were uploaded any image that had previously been deadlinked would not function.
Book1.png for example showed up in Special:ImageList, and when you clicked
(file) it would load the image itself. So it had both a perfect database entry
and file, but when you navigated to Image:Book1.png or any other article linked
to it.... or you clicked the link in Special:Imagelist it would come up with an
error saying the file was not found and giving you the option to upload it.
Almost like there was still some record somewhere that importImages.php didn't
fix saying the image was deadlinked.
