ਫਰਮਾ:Purge/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for ਫਰਮਾ:Purge (see that page for the ਫਰਮਾ itself). It contains usage information, categories, and other content that are not part of the original ਫਰਮਾ page. |
{{purge}} produces a link that will clear the cache and rebuild page from the wikitext.
Purpose
[ਸੋਧੋ]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 Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page.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 a template.
{{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.
