Thank you for the responses Greg. I ran the code and received a slightly different message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 196608 bytes) in /var/www/html/mediawiki/autoload.php on line 518 It calls a different file for the error. It did not run any job. Thanks for the troubleshooting.

It's currently at 19,058 and counting. I have tried using runJobs.php, but I get this error message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 157286400 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3846541 bytes) in /var/www/html/mediawiki/includes/objectcache/SqlBagOStuff.php on line 656 I have noticed I do not have the variable: $wgJobRunRate listed in my LocalSettings.php. Should I add this variable to my LocalSettings.php file? How can I address this error message? I believe the jobs backlog is contributing to a Translate extension error I am having, mentioned here - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159947. I am running MediaWiki 1.26.2. The jobs back log started in November 2017. No changes have been made to my version of Mediawiki in that timeframe. Thank you.
