Please remove "id="purgelink"" because it disallows color to be used to change the color of the "purge." I wish to change the color to blue so it doesn't look like an external link.

# To a layperson, the plain English meaning of "purge" is to remove, get rid of, or expunge. This is not what is meant with respect to content to which this template is applied.
# To speak of purging the cache describes a technical means to an end. The proximate end is to bypass or refresh the cache but the true end, from the reader's perspecitve, is to render a fresh, updated version of the page.
# Although there is a distinction in technical parlance between merely refreshing a page view and refreshing the source from which the page is loaded, readers who are familiar with this distinction are unlikely to be misled if it is labeled "Refresh" but readers who are not aware of it may be baffled when it is labeled "Purge."
Thank you. ~ [[User:Ningauble|Ningauble]] ([[User talk:Ningauble|talk]]) 14:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

: "Purge" has been used in its present, idiomatic sense on Wikipedia for years. See [[WP:PURGE]]. There is a distinction between "refreshing" a page and "purging" it. This really needs discussed before any changes are made, so disabling the request for now. It may be best getting a wider discussion going at the Village Pump. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward|talk]]) 15:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

:: Ok, this will need discussion because it has indeed been used here for a long time. ''It is one of those little things that make Wikipedia seem geeky'' to the general public. (Confession: I am a retired geek. My request is not meant to be anti-geek, but to better serve the reading public.) I am well aware of [[WP:PURGE]] and the distinction you refer to, as indicated in my point #3 above. <p> To amplify on point 3: &nbsp; A reader might wonder why there is a "Refresh" button on the page when their browser already has a refresh function. They might assume it is something related but different. They might surmise that it is something specific to the time-sensitive information being displayed. They might try their browser's function and be disappointed by the result. The might try the link and find it (surprise) more refreshing. These remarks apply equally well to those who are, and who are not, conversant with the caching architecture used on Wikimedia's servers. The same cannot be said for "Purge". A little ambiguity, when it is not misleading, is far better than jargon that signifies little to the uninitiated. </p><p> To amplify on points 1 and 2: &nbsp; "Purging the cache" is a ''self reference'' to the infrastructure that serves Wikipedia's content. "Purge" is not an apt description of the action a reader would intend to perform ''on the content they are viewing'', unless their intent is quite different from what the link does. To be clear, I am thinking about the perspective of a general reader who might wonder why they would want to "get rid of" the content, and is not thinking about, or even aware of, getting rid of cached data behind it.  (For contributors, who need to find the applicable template, it might be good to mention it in the lede section of [[WP:REFRESH]] because it is somewhat buried in the page.) </p><p> I considered "Update" instead of "Refresh", which some websites use for this purpose, but I thought it could be confusing in a context where most pages are peppered with "[edit]" links. I would be open to other suggestions for plain English words that commonly denote the action an ordinary reader would intend to perform on the content they are viewing. </p><p> I am posting a note at WP:VP and WP:PURGE to solicit community review this idea. ~ [[User:Ningauble|Ningauble]] ([[User talk:Ningauble|talk]]) 19:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)</p>

*Sounds like a '''good idea'''.  "Purge" is just a word to me now, but it was somewhat confusing when I first tried to figure out what it was and how it worked.  Note that the URL uses <code>&action=purge</code>.  If at all possible, another <code>&action=</code> should be designated for the new term (leaving the old in place, of course).  I don't know if that's possible, while the change to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=purge&fulltext=Search&ns8=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced the relevant MediaWiki pages] would be fairly simple. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 04:10, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
**The reason I suggest changing MediaWiki pages as well as the template is because if this is changed, pieces of the interface such as [[MediaWiki:Nosuchsectiontext]] should be changed to reflect the new usage.  Doing this piecemeal would cause more confusion than the status quo. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 04:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
*Speaking as a techy type, I support this change. "Purge" is jargon. "Refresh" is commonplace. We should consider that the vast majority of visitors to Wikipedia are just that; visitors. They don't know about the years of use of the word "purge" or do they care. They don't know where to find detailed instructions or policy and guidelines (yawn) pages. They may want to refresh the page though. '''Whole hearted support'''.&nbsp;[[User:Fred_Gandt|'''<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#044;">f<i style="color:#0dd;font-size:60%;">red</i>g<i style="color:#0dd;font-size:60%;">andt</i></span>''']] 13:36, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Anyone who is using this template in its default wording in mainspace should be shot; if such uses are identified, then ''fix them individually''.  Changing the template would alter projectspace uses (where jargon is more acceptable) and confuse existing users, with little mainspace benefit.  I would '''support''' changing the title text to something like "Purge the cache of this page", to be clearer.  And finally, "refresh" could confuse readers about the browser, as [[Aunt Tillie]] doesn't experiment when she sees something like that, she just says "computers are confusing!"; "update" looks too much like "edit", although it might be appropriate in specific contexts; and I've yet to see a reasonable alternative.  --'''''[[User:NYKevin|<span style="color:red;">N</span>]][[User talk:NYKevin|<span style="color:green;">Y</span>]][[Special:Contributions/NYKevin|<span style="color:blue;">Kevin</span>]]''''' @109, i.e. 01:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
*: I don't approve of shooting people, but you are right that the default language is wrong. The default should be something that is appropriate for nearly all uses, ''including'' project space. Geekyness in project space is a significant factor in deterring readers from becoming contributors. Let's not shoot people for failing to override the default, let's make the default useful so they don't have to. ~ [[User:Ningauble|Ningauble]] ([[User talk:Ningauble|talk]]) 16:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC) 
:::OK, what language do you propose?  As I just pointed out, "Refresh" is a non-starter in mainspace anyway, so it will still need to be overridden.  Everyone already knows what "purge" means in projectspace, and in mainspace it needs to be on a case-by-case basis anyway, so there's nothing wrong with the current language.  --'''''[[User:NYKevin|<span style="color:red;">N</span>]][[User talk:NYKevin|<span style="color:green;">Y</span>]][[Special:Contributions/NYKevin|<span style="color:blue;">Kevin</span>]]''''' @881, i.e. 20:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
*'''Support''' - 'Refresh' is clearer, and anyone who uses an Internet browser should understand what it means, even if the functionality of the 'Purge' template isn't quite the same as refreshing a browser window. Whereas some newbies might be reluctant to push a 'purge' button for fear of accidentally deleting valuable data - it does suggest destroying or getting rid of something.

*'''Support''': To me "purge" sound completely ununderstandable. <br/>(Leaving out that I think about [[wikt:purge|other meaning]] first :-) ), this technical meaning is worse than what Ningauble's first message pointed out: "purge" is even not actually related to "bypass or refresh the cache" but only to an half of it, just clearing out the cache. So it's not related to getting again the (newly rebuilt) page, ''and it's not plain and immediate by a "layperson" to foresee the result'' (maybe he/she even thinks it is about taking away a (wrong) page from Wikipedia!)  <br/> But, however, I feel that ''the suggested "Refresh" is confounding and misleading too'', as there is the more known browser's Refresh or Reload function (client side cache)<br/> We have to find out a ''better expression''  (Maybe: "rebuild (the page)", "get again (the page)", "resend" ... I have to think about this)<br/>Answering to Nyttend: Off course all the related page will be changed.<br/> --[[Special:Contributions/79.50.131.134|79.50.131.134]] ([[User talk:79.50.131.134|talk]]) 20:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

: Are you sure you're doing it right? Based on your edits, it looks like maybe you were trying to update the main portal page by purging the subpages and not the portal page itself. Anyway, I made a few edits to the subpages and most of the changes were reflected on the (draft) portal page by simply reloading it.
