Thread:Project:Support desk/Updating old text blob using php/reply (2)

Thanks for the warning...

I'm asking this because I use Mediawiki in our IT environment, where 100 plus pages contain the information of the same amount of AIX servers. Because the configuration can change, I'd like to keep the info on the pages as up to date as possible. I could do this manually, of course, but imho, in this case, an automatic update of pages using the configuration gotten from scripts would be nice to have.

If I call the page with parameter action=purge, would this just clear the cache, discarding the changes just made, or will it update the revision table and make my changes permanent ?

Thank you for answering to my post ǃ Hans
