{{Purge}} produces a link that will purge the page's cache and rebuild it from the wikitext.
Adhbhar - Purpose
[deasaich]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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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.
Eisimpleirean - Examples
[deasaich]| Code | Yields | Result |
|---|---|---|
| {{Purge}} | Creates a purge link for the page it is used on. | |
| {{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.}} | Creates a purge link for the page it is used on, but with the text "Purge this page's server cache." | |
| {{Purge|page=Main Page}} | Creates a purge link for Main Page. | |
| {{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.|page=Main Page}} | Creates a purge link for Main Page, but with the text "Purge this page's server cache." | |
| {{Purge|Anchor=TemplateData}} | Creates a purge link for the page it is used on, which points to the "TemplateData" section. |
When you are linking to a section, purging that page will cause you to lose the section link.
