Template talk:Purge

Hmm, doesn't seem to work for me using Firefox 1.0.7. It does something, but the stuff still doesn't update. --Rainith 03:22, 29 Sep 2005 (EST) Edit - Or does this need to be affixed to a specific page and then run? --Rainith 03:23, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Did you add something to a page and it's not showing? that's what it is for - see this old revision of peer review, that had a purge link, this is just to keep things tidy =) Skuld &Dagger; 03:25, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Not many pages would need it, it's just when things get busy and not everything updates Skuld &Dagger; 03:26, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Any time I say create a new category (as I just did for Category:Borlis Pass), it does not update in the pages that are in that category. I can flush the cache at my end and it still does nothing.  If I click on the link I get the thrown into the edit field, and it is propagated with the information that is in that article.  I hope that last sentance made sense.  Kinda tired today.  --Rainith 03:32, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * That sounds like your browser cache is the problem, Rainith. You need to a server-side purge when say, your article includes another article, and you change the second directly.  Another is if a category still shows up or an article still shows in a category after the tag is removed.  A null edit (clicking edit and then saving without changing anything) accomplishes the same thing as purging.  --Fyren 09:50, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
