: Wikipedia and your computer both store webpage ''[[Web cache|caches]]'' – or saved copies – and don't always show you an updated page. First, try to [[WP:BYPASS|bypass your browser's cache]] by pressing ⌘R, Ctrl+R, or F5. If that fails, you may need to [[WP:PURGE|purge]] the page's cache (which can be done several different ways). Perhaps the easiest way to do this is by clicking '''edit''' on the page in which the template appears, and then clicking on '''SavePublish pagechanges''' without having changed anything – there is no need to fill in the ''Summary'' field since there will not be any ''history'' of this as a change generated.
