Details

clearInterwikiCache.php is a maintenance script to clear the interwiki links for all languages in memcached .

This script will clear the interwiki cache on all databases configured in $wgLocalDatabases . If there's no database configured, this script will do nothing. See task T289704

Options/Arguments

This script does not take any options.

Usage

php maintenance/run.php clearInterwikiCache

Terminal

$ php maintenance/run.php clearInterwikiCache

wikipedia...done
meta...done
news...done

In MediaWiki version 1.39.10 and earlier, you must invoke maintenance scripts using php maintenance/scriptName.php instead of php maintenance/run.php scriptName.

Troubleshooting

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T289704

If the script does not output anything it means nothing was done because you have no "local database". This problem is caused by the default value of the $wgLocalDatabases configuration. This behavior deserves further explanation but the quick workaround is to add your database name to that array.
