Teamplaid:Purge/documentation

{{Purge}} produces a link that will purge the page's cache and rebuild it from the wikitext.

Adhbhar - Purpose

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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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

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.
