Wiki-database <freqsubcat> link problem

[nd5y]

The wiki <freqsubcat> template (or tag or whatever it is called) has some problem where it is not using the current database data.

Compare the db entry https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=7730
with the wiki article that links to it https://wiki.radioreference.com/ind...io_Service_(GMRS)_(US_Nationwide)#Frequencies

The db was updated over a week ago but the <freqsubcat>64393</freqsubcat> in the wiki article is still using the earlier data before the 1/16 change.

I found some more examples of this I can post if needed.

These articles have a Refresh this page from the latest database entry link that doesn't work either.

Unfortunately the green shading is now gone from the db entry, but there are a couple of things here, all having to do with page caching;

a. Under your wiki account, select My Preferences. Under the Advanced Options make sure that Disable Page Caching is checked. You see, part of the wiki's claim to speed (in fact the very word actually means 'fast' or 'quickly' in old Hawaiian) is that it has it's own page caching system, much like your browser does. I don't see an option to purge your wiki page cache, though

b. In addition, you need to insure your browser isn't caching. That will slow you down, there is that tradeoff, but if you don't the browser's cache is going to bring up the 'old' page even quicker than the wiki's. Because of this, you may need to purge your browser's cache as well.

I need to tag Lindsay about this to clear this up, I know these two things interact with one another, and I think what I have given you here is some, but not entirely all, of the story. The Refreshpage template is something I coded up many years ago, and I just don't remember all the nuances of how the two work together
