+<h2>Maintenance</h2>
+
+<p>To optimize page generation time, Piwigo uses cached
+information. For example, instead of counting the number of pictures
+contained in each category at each page reload, this information is stored
+in the database. In theory, this information should always be correct, but
+sometimes an error can occur and cached information becomes wrong.</p>
+
+<p>Some informations become useless with time. Deleting this useless
+information from database make you save disk space.</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li><strong>Update categories informations:</strong> For each category,
+ informations to update or control are the following : list of parent
+ categories, number of pictures, date of the last picture, position among
+ brother categories, position among all categories. This action also checks
+ the coherence of representative picture.</li>
+
+ <li><strong>Update images informations:</strong> For each picture,
+ informations to update are : full path to file, average
+ rate. <em>Warning</em>: do not get confuse with metadata informations
+ which can be synchronized from <span class="pwgScreen">Administration,
+ Categories, Synchronize</span> or by reaching the modification screen of a
+ single picture (through <span class="pwgScreen">Picture</span> for
+ example).</li>
+

+ For each table, re-odrer, repair and optimize operations are done.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Purge history detail:</strong> Delete all lines from
+ <code>history</code> table. Screen <span class="pwgScreen">Administration,
+ Specials, History</span> shows no informations anymore on past
+ history. <em>Warning</em>: all data will be lost and there is no way to
+ get informations back.</li>
