MediaWiki categories not updating automatically

I have a MediaWiki instance running on a Linux server that does not seem to automatically update its categories whenever a page edit is submitted.

I have never seen this on any other wikis I've worked with, so I'm wondering if there's some script that's not configured correctly.

Periodically running the rebuildAll.php or refreshLinks.php script isn't really viable when we have hundreds of edits happening per hour and need the categories to be populated instantaneously.

Running rebuildAll.php seems to take hours anyway.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks!

What's $wgJobRunRate set to? Try running maintenance/runJobs.php.

It can sometimes take a while (minutes perhaps) for a page to appear in a category, but for most wikis it shouldn't be more than that.
