Fossil Wiki:Main page FAQ

For the general FAQ, see the FAQ page

What is the Main Page?
The Main Page, also known as the Fossil Wiki page, is the first page that you see when visiting the wiki.

Why is the Main Page not updating?
The servers may still have the previous day's version of the Main Page cached, so try purging the server cache. If that does not seem to work, you may need to bypass your browser's cache. Also, unless there is a major news development, the main page is updated weekly, every Friday at 0:00 UTC.
