Manual:Purge

Purging forces MediaWiki to clear the cached version of a given page, forcing the page to be redisplayed from its source or scripts to restart.

It is used to ensure that recent changes are made immediately visible.

A simple way to "purge" a MediaWiki page is to click a page's "View history" tab, then in your browser's location field delete just the word "history" off the end of the URL, type "purge" (after the "=") on the end of the URL, and hit Enter.

Your URL should look something like one of the ones below.

Examples

 * To purge a page, add   to the URL of the page you are viewing. For example:




 * If the URL has other parameters in its query string, add the purge action to the query string with an ampersand (&). For example:



Requests must be confirmed
Purge requests made via POST are automatically filled.

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.

Purging will only update the rendering of the page, it won't update the link tables.

Click on "Edit" and save without changing anything.
