Encouraging local client caching of uploaded media is normally a good thing for mediawiki, but small organizations using mediawiki to host official documents need to ensure that users always get the latest version of an uploaded file. It would be nice if there was a configuration variable in LocalSettings.php that configured whether or not the wiki forces clients get a fresh copy of a file that they already have in cache. Thanks!
