Template:Purge/doc
Purge produces a link that will purge the page's cache and rebuild it from the wikitext.
In this case, instead of reading "purge cache" the text is in Dwarven: "thetust-zilir Sebïretost."
Purpose
For efficiency in service, MediaWiki caches pages. Depending on the exact sequence of actions editors follow, one may view an out-of-date version of a given page. This happens most often on heavily-edited pages and on pages which contain an instance of transclusion.
Purge adds to any page a link that, when clicked, not only reloads the page, but clears the server cache, forcing the page to be completely rendered "from scratch". This is not a one-time solution; generally, editing a page is itself sufficient to purge cache. Rather, it is a measure taken in anticipation of the frequent need to purge.
Usage
