RansomTime wrote: Purging the cache should fix the issue if you see it on pages. Purging has the same effect as edit/save. If edit/save didn't do the trick purging isn't likely to do it as well (with exception when templates that use them self, but even then another save would do it).

RansomTime wrote: As a general rule, it's logged out users who'll see the changes last, this is due to the caching that Wikia does. I don't know about that rule, but wikia is likely to have a lot of server farms and various caching methods, depending on sever load it can take time until all changes to specific file will propagate to all server farms. So yeah, it can take some time.
