FAQ: Frequently anticipated questions
[edit]- The tool is stuck on a particular version of a article?
The tool caches responses for 30 minutes, if you have made edits in the last day, those changes will not show up. If you want to run the tool on the updated article, you can bypass the cache by appending ?nocache=true to the URL.
- What about other languages?
Adding support for other languages should™ be relatively easy, as long as certain information regarding the wiki is provided. If there is interest in supporting additional language editions of wikipedia, feel free to contact me on my talk page here and we can talk from there :)
