New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{[[Template:Purge|Purge]]}} produces a link that will clear the cache and rebuild page from the wikitext.

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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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

{{[[Template:Purge|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.

== Examples ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Yields
! Result
|-
| <tt><nowiki>{{Purge}}</nowiki></tt>
| {{Purge}}
| Creates a purge link for the page it is used on.
|-
| <tt><nowiki>{{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.}}</nowiki></tt>
| {{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."
|-
| <tt><nowiki>{{Purge|page=Main Page}}</nowiki></tt>
| {{Purge|page=Main Page}}
| Creates a purge link for [[Main Page]].
|-
| <tt><nowiki>{{Purge|Purge this page's server cache.|page=Main Page}}</nowiki></tt>
| {{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."
|}

When you are linking to a section, purging that page will cause you to lose the section link.
