Under normal circumstances, the URL changes in articles are also visible in toolforge:Linksearch within seconds. Sometimes, however, the underlying database s5 is updated with a delay. With this link you can check if the database is up to date: Replag reported by heartbeat_p: if a delay of 0 is specified for s5, then the database, and thus also the result of toolforge:Linksearch is up to date. A delay at s5 has a negative effect on a variety of tools.
