The MultiPurge extension allows the purging of pages from multiple caches in a defined order. It was developed to allow the use-case of first purging data from a varnish cache, and then from CloudFlare.

Special page

MultiPurge adds a special page for sysops which allows purging of load.php URLs.

The page can be found at Special:PurgeResources.

Only users with editinterface permissions can access this page.

The page works by requesting the actual HTML output of a given title, and parsing all load.php calls.

All found links can then be selected to be purged.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called MultiPurge in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'MultiPurge' );
  

• Configure as required.
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage and configuration information can be found in the README.md file in the extension's repository.
