Purge adds a purge tab on all normal pages, allowing for quick purging of the cache.

Installation

1. Download the latest snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory.
2. Add
   require_once( "$IP/extensions/Purge/Purge.php" );
   to LocalSettings.php
3. The extension should be now active.

Notes

If you set $wgGroupPermissions['*']['purge'] = true; inside your LocalSettings.php so that anonymous users can make use of the cache purging functionality without the use of a post you may want to add index.php to your robots.txt so that search engine spiders crawling your wiki for content do not start attempting to crawl purge links and inadvertently purging the cache of your wiki and increasing the load on your server(s).
