The MagicNoCache extension creates a new magic word __NOCACHE__ and disables the cache for any page in which it finds it. Thus it makes sure that specific pages never get cached as they get updated extremely frequently.

Installation

  • Download and move the extracted MagicNoCache folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/MagicNoCache
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'MagicNoCache' );
    
  •   Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
