Module:Purge
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, and/or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This Lua module is used in system messages, and on approximately 337,000 pages, or roughly 5968% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module produces a link to purge a page's cache. This is usually the current page, but can be another page.
