Forum:Sidebar cannot refresh content after rewrite

i tried to change the Main Navigation by editing MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar, and i do as same as the page tell me to do. however,my sidebar does not change...

oh, it does not work in this way, does i omit anything?


 * Have you tried refreshing the page? You can also try CTRL+R or hold down the SHIFT key while clicking the refresh button. If none of those work, try clearing your cache. Now just in case it's not your computer and it's actually the sidebar on your wiki, can you provide a link to it? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:39, December 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Its actually neither of those. The menu is fed from a MediaWiki page, and for most of those, if they are highly read (like the menu), their contents is cached in memory on the server (lookup something called memcache). Even though you changed the page, the version cached in memory wont change right away. As soon as it expired (its short, like 60 seconds I think), the next time its read (ANY PAGE VIEW), the new contents of that mediawiki page are re-read from the database, and is re-cached all over again. --Uberfuzzy 18:56, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
