Details

Options

Option	Description	Required

Background mode will be automatically used if multiple servers are listed in the load balancer, usually indicating a replication environment. This avoids locking tables or lagging replica databases with large updates.

Usage

php maintenance/run.php initEditCount [ --quick| --background ]

Terminal

$ php maintenance/run.php initEditCount --background

Using replication-friendly background mode...
mediawiki_db 4 (100.0%) done in 0.0 secs (769.385 accounts/sec).
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.
