 * You could make it so the image purges the current page when you click on it...
 * The image wikicode would look like this:

I see, thanks for the help.

What action does Purge do?
Is this something every Wikia should do. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 16:35, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * What? I don't think you understand. Purge just tells the server to regenerate copy of the page (when you edit, it parses the wikitext into html then caches that for when people view it) usually to bypass caching problems server-side or to fix a bad copy that was made then cached. For images, it regenerates the image, which is useful when the image servers cache it badly when you're seeing an older image. It has its uses for sure. Joey (talk) 20:09, August 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * thank you, I thought it was something important to do with my own wiki. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 23:15, August 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * action=purge no longer works for purging images, according to Crucially. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:02, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Who knows what anything will do with regard to images on Wikia these days. They are all potentially messed up. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:06 AM PST 16 Aug 2010
