Commons:Job queue

The job queue performs tasks that can run asynchronously, and which might take a large amount of time, such as HTML cache invalidation using batch processing.

Info: This page just gives a brief introduction to the job queue. For detailed information, please see Manual:Job queue.

Examples of jobs

• When a user is renamed, their userpage must be moved to new location.
