My server ran out of space. I only realised this yesterday, but it meant I needed to repair the job table. Is there any way of re-doing things that failed in the past, but weren't in the job table (any more), i.e. making sure the wiki database is all up to date now?

This is hard to say. Many of the tasks handled by jobs have maintenance scripts to refresh essentially all pages or specific pages for that type of change. But these are expensive operations, so doing them for an entire wiki without knowing where the discrepancy is, might not be wise. Additionally, some of the tasks handled by the job queue will also be handled eventually as people use the site again and cause triggers to refire.
Thanks. I'd be happy to run whatever scripts would be recommended. The wiki isn't that big (15k pages maybe). I've used refreshLinks.php before and it didn't take inordinately long. But maybe there are just too many - Manual:Maintenance_scripts/List_of_scripts...
Most jobs don't really matter too much if they get dropped. RefreshLinks.php will probably do most the stuff. In rare cases rebuildRecentChanges maybe.
Thank you. I'll look into those.
