Template:Purge

From OeisWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The {{purge}} OEIS Wiki utility template adds a small <Purge> link to a page (as you see above).

Purging a page clears the server cache and forces the most current revision to appear. (This is especially useful when testing a just modified template, so you don't keep testing an old version from the server cache!)

Usage

To purge the current page (as default):

{{purge}}

or

{{purge|label = link label}}

To purge some other page:

{{purge|full page title}}

or

{{purge|title = full page title}}

or

{{purge|full page title|link label}}

or

{{purge|title = full page title|label = link label}}

or

{{purge|title = full page title|label = link label|anchor = anchor}}

where

  • title (first argument) is full page title (namespace prefix:page title) (default is current page);
  • label (second argument) is link label (optional);
  • anchor (third argument) is anchor (optional) to jump to on the page (after purging it) (unfortunately not yet functional, maybe not possible). See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Purge

Examples

NOTE: The optional : (colon) prefix invokes the default (Main) namespace.
