Detailed Description

Category objects are immutable, strictly speaking.

If you call methods that change the database, like to refresh link counts, the objects will be appropriately reinitialized. Member variables are lazy-initialized.

◆ refreshCountsIfEmpty()

MediaWiki\Category\Category::refreshCountsIfEmpty ( )

Call refreshCounts() if there are no entries in the categorylinks table or if the category table has a row that states that there are no entries.

Due to lock errors or other failures, the precomputed counts can get out of sync, making it hard to know when to delete the category row without checking the categorylinks table.

Since: 1.32

Definition at line 513 of file Category.php.

◆ refreshCountsIfSmall()

MediaWiki\Category\Category::refreshCountsIfSmall ( $maxSize = self::ROW_COUNT_SMALL )

Call refreshCounts() if there are few entries in the categorylinks table.

Due to lock errors or other failures, the precomputed counts can get out of sync, making it hard to know when to delete the category row without checking the categorylinks table.

This method will do a non-locking select first to reduce contention.

Parameters

int $maxSize Only refresh if there are this or less many backlinks

Returns: bool Whether links were refreshed

Since: 1.34
