The refresh operation takes several minutes even on small wikis. This is no=
t=20
what you normally trigger through a web interface (e.g. there are timeouts)=
=2E=20
Also not all "admins" (which is a fairly large group of users on many wikis=
)=20
should be able to directly trigger this for a large site.

=46uture versions of SMW will take care about fixing their inconsistencies=

automatically while using the wiki, but the "fix all" batch operation will=
=20
continue to be a server-side script.
