Re: Wiki no longer showing recent changes

Hi,

I've noticed that the Recent Changes page on the PostgreSQL wiki are
no longer showing newer changes:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges

Looking at the GSoC 2016 page history, it's clear that there have been
quite a lot of changes on that page, but they don't show up on the
Recent Changes page:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=GSoC_2016&action=history

Is there some cache-invalidation problem going on here?

They've been showing up as they have happened for me.

Maybe the problem is with your browser's caching?

I suspected that might be the case, so I did try a different browser,
and the problem remained. However, I've since tried it again and the
problem seems to have disappeared.

Thanks for checking.

Well, caching problems do go away automatically after some time :)

The thing to check is to see if works differently when you are logged in vs
when you are not logged in (for example in different browsers). If it does,
then it's quite possibly a caching issue. You can then also look at the Age
header of the http response - that one will tell you how long the current
entry has been in the cache. If that one is short, then it could be an
underlying mediawiki issue that just sent the wrong data into the cache.
