Clearing Cache
- Sometimes, after you make an edit, your changes do not appear on the page. This is likely because the page, or portions of the page, have been cached by the browser or by MediaWiki.
- To clear browser cache, see this, which has specific instructions for each browser: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache
- To clear MediaWiki cache, add ?action=purge to the end of the URL. You will be asked if it's ok
