Forum:Cached Pages?

I'm working on pages listed in the Special pages. (Uncategorized Articles (Making them fit in with the wiki)). But the issue is that since the page is cached I end up going over pages I've already fixed and can't tell the difference between those that I actualy need to work on.

How would you make a special page cache it's information again? I tryed using purge but that doesn't work.

 * Usually they are updated when a page is saved (same as when you edit the contents of a page). However, as they are expensive (resource-intensive), on larger wikis they usually have to be disabled at some point (on en.wikipedia for example, it would shut down the site for a minute or so, if they were updated on every single page edit). Currently they are run once a day. See also Forum:Special_pages_not_updating. Note also that not all special pages are affected, just the most expensive ones (like Special:Wantedpages. --Splarka (talk) 22:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
