Template:Purge/doc
![]() |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Purge. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{Purge}} produces a link that will purge the page's cache and rebuild it from the wikitext.
Purpose[edit source]
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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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[edit source]

{{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.|page=Main Page}}

When you are linking to a section, purging that page will cause you to lose the section link.
