Module:Purge
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, 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 module produces a link to purge a page's cache. This is usually the current page, but can be another page.
Usage
From wiktext
From wikitext, this module should be accessed via Template:Purge. Please see the template page for documentation.
From Lua
From Lua, first you need to load the module: <source lang="lua"> local mPurge = require('Module:Purge') </source>
Then you can create purge links with the _main
function:
<source lang="lua">
mPurge._main(args)
</source>
args is a table of arguments, identical to the ones accepted by Template:Purge. Please see the template documentation for more details.
