Forum:PurgeButton

The ability to purge a page and force it to update can be very useful when a page has gotten stuck and hasn't updated after you've uploaded a new version of a file or made another change. Usually the only way to do this is to add action=purge, which isn't very convenient. Luckily, there's a JavaScript tool to add a useful link to purge a page.

The PurgeButton adds a "Purge" option to page controls. A "Purge" refreshes both Wikia's caches and your browser's cache. It is also possible to change the text of the link that appears in the drop down menu. So instead of "Purge", the text can be changed to "Refresh".
