canasta maintenance script

Run maintenance scripts

Synopsis

Run a MediaWiki core maintenance script inside the web container.

With no arguments, lists all available maintenance scripts. With one or more arguments, runs the specified script. The script name is relative to the maintenance/ directory.

Flags (-i, --wiki) must come before the script name. Everything after the script name is treated as script arguments — no quotes needed.

In a wiki farm, runs on all wikis by default. Use --wiki to target a specific wiki.
