Description:
I have gotten some old versions of pages served as well (previously, images and
MediaWiki:Sidebar were reported). I will attach a screenshot of a cache that is
nearly 1 day old. My clock is PDT but I guess it doesn't matter. I am as sure as
an end user can be that I have cleared my browser cache, and I have looked at a
good version of the page before the edit. When I reload the page (not even the
cache invalidate reload, ctrl shift r), it looks fine.
I also tried this on Internet Explorer and Opera. I thought it might have been a
proxy server, so I used a campus full tunnel VPN, and I still got a bad version.
All of them resolved when using "refresh", and often failed when opening the URL
again (or searching google for e.g. "Wikipedia PlayStation 3" and following the
link).
Perhaps the refresh is using the same connection to the same server, which is
then invalidating its local cache of the page?
