Fyrimynd:Purge/doc
{{Purge}}
produces a link that will clear the cache and rebuild page from the wikitext.
Purpose
[rætta wikitekst]For efficiency in service, MediaWiki caches pages. Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page. This happens most often on heavily-edited pages and on pages which contain an instance of transclusion.
{{Purge}}
adds to any page a link that, when clicked, not only reloads the page, but clears the server cache, forcing the page to be completely rendered "from scratch". This is not a one-time solution; generally, editing a page is itself sufficient to purge cache. Rather, it is a measure taken in anticipation of the frequent need to purge.
Examples
[rætta wikitekst]Code | Yields | Result |
---|---|---|
{{Purge}} | Creates a purge link for the page it is used on. | |
{{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.}} | Creates a purge link for the page it is used on, but with the text "Purge this page's server cache." | |
{{Purge|page=Main Page}} | Creates a purge link for Main Page. | |
{{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.|page=Main Page}} | Creates a purge link for Main Page, but with the text "Purge this page's server cache." |
When you are linking to a section, purging that page will cause you to lose the section link.
