Thread:Extension talk:DataTable2/Automatic page updates/reply

Pleased to know that my extension is useful. Whether your configuration is wrong depends on your needs: MediaWiki has various caching mechanisms, see Manual:Cache for an overview. Clearly you can reduce caching at the cost of performance loss. In any case, caching prevents automatic update of any underlying data; there is no way to see DataTable2 updates in real time but to allow other changes of underlying items (such as templates) to be deferred.

A simpler way to force update of a rendered page is explained in Manual:FAQ.
