Editing Template:Purge/doc

{{documentation subpage}}
<includeonly>{{pp-template}}</includeonly>

{{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} produces a link that will clear the cache and rebuild page from the wikitext.

== Purpose ==
For efficiency in service, [[MediaWiki]] [[cache]]s 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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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 [[AEWiki:Transclusion costs and benefits|transclusion]]. 

{{tl|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 ==
'''Code''':
* <tt><nowiki>{{purge}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{purge|Purge this page's server cache.}}</nowiki></tt>

'''Yields''':
* {{purge}}
* {{purge|Purge this page's server cache.}}
