Why and how to force a refresh on certain pages to make sure you get the latest data

For several pages in the kabo-wiki-hive you need to tell the wiki that you want a new copy of the page even though nothing changed in the wiki.

The pages you need to force a refresh on

• kabo-wiki-hive: hive changes (the main-wiki).
• all pages wiki-net faces, wiki-net changes, wiki-net wiki-ideas, wiki-net wiki-lists and wiki-net events in all kabo-wikis.

here's why:

1. When no page was changed on the wiki, and you already have a copy of the page in your browser cache, the wiki will reply with a 304 NOT MODIFIED response, instructing your browser to serve the copy from the browser cache.
2. The pages listed above include changes from the various namespaces we have here (= other kabo-wikis) or from other wikis. If these change but the wiki you request from was not changed, then the above response is wrong.
3. You need to tell your browser to not use the copy in the browser cache.

here's how:

In order to do this, you indicate to your browser that for this request only, you don’t want to use the copies in your browser cache. How to do this depends on your browser:

• Firefox: Press Shift and click the reload button or press Control + Shift + R
• Internet Explorer: Press Control and click the reload button.
• Safari: Just click the reload button.
