The [PurgePage](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PurgePage) extension provides the `#purge` parser function to MediaWiki. This parser function allows to trigger an update to a parser functions whenever the page where this function is used is updated.

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

On page `Foo` add the following parser function call to the wikitext:

```
{{#purge:Bar}}

```

Now every time `Foo` is purged (e.g. every time it is edited and saved) `Bar`will also be updated.

This can be useful, when the content of `Bar` depends on `Foo`, e.g. when using a [SemanticMediawiki](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org) query on `Bar` that contains data from `Foo` in the results.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.4 or later
- MediaWiki 1.26 or later

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install this extension is by using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Just add the following to the MediaWiki `composer.local.json` file and run `php composer.phar update mediawiki/purge-page` from the MediaWiki installation directory.

```
{
	"require": {
		"mediawiki/purge-page": "~1.0"
	}
}
```

(Alternatively you can download a tar ball or zip file from [GitHub](https://github.com/s7eph4n/PurgePage/releases/latest)and extract it into the `extensions` directory of your MediaWiki installation.)

Then add the following line to your `LocalSettings.php`:

```
wfLoadExtension('PurgePage');
```
