Wade, put for instance multi column ToC CSS code into Wikia.css and you will have to purge the specific page you are putting the code in for to see the effect. Put into place a new background and you will not see it on all pages, unless you purge them (happened to me a few times). Put in code in common.css or common.js and the same thing is likely to happen, due to caching. So yes, the purging does indeed happen automatically for the page you are editing at that time, but it does NOT happen (even when logged in) for the pages you want the code to be executed onto when you are using CSS, JS, Python or other languages. That still requires manual purging. It would be nice if there would be a manual purge button like there is an edit button on every page. So you also can use it when you feel that it may need refreshing, without needing to go to the edit page, change the command to purge and then clicking the enter button to execute. Am i more clear now?
