Purging forces MediaWiki to clear the cached version of a given page, forcing the page to be redisplayed from its source. It is used to ensure that recent changes are made immediately visible.

[edit] Examples

  • To purge a page, add ?action=purge to the URL of the page you are viewing. For example:
http://example.org/wiki/Main_Page?action=purge
  • If the URL has other parameters in its query string, add the purge action to the query string with an ampersand (&). For example:
http://example.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=purge

Note Note: Remember to change example.org in the above URLs to the host name of your MediaWiki installation.

[edit] Anonymous requests must be confirmed

Purge requests made via POST or by logged-in users are automatically filled. Anonymous users making purge requests via a query string will be presented with a confirmation form. This form must be submitted before the purge request will be completed. This behavior is a precaution to keep web spiders from accidentally purging pages when following links.

[edit] Purge and image thumbnails

If purge is run on an image description page, the cached thumbnails for the image will be purged.
