RGB Stamp

Hello, noticed the wiki lacked an RGB Stamp page, added it, StampBoxC apparently updated the Stamps cargo table, and although initially everything worked properly, the Infobox decided to start breaking the page so I removed it. The entry also does not appear in the table in the Stamps page.

I'm puzzled.

EDIT: Figured it out, needed to purge. No idea a db could do that to a wiki.

For clarification, the structure is the following right? StampBoxC informs the Stamps Cargo table which informs the Stamp Infobox & StampTableC.

Hi, thank you a lot for fixing this! I somehow managed to completely miss it when I updated the stamps to go through cargo. Anyhow, that is exactly how it goes. StampBoxC template stores into the table and the other two aforementioned query the table for the data. And as to why purging is required is due to caching. The server stores a version of the page from when it was last edited to display rather than recompiling the page every time it is visited to improve performance. So if the data chances indirectly through cargo it is not immediately reflected on the page. The cache does get automatically refreshed every once in a while, but that may take from a couple of hours to days, so you need to "purge" the page to force it to recompile and show the newest version immediately. –Taqx2 (talk) 19:43, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
