$smwgFactboxCacheRefreshOnPurge is a configuration parameter that sets whether or not a factbox should be invalidated on an action=purge event. The configuration parameter was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.0Released on 3 January 2014 and compatible with MW 1.19.0 - 1.22.x. and deprecated in Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0Released on 11 October 2018 and compatible with MW 1.27.0 - 1.31.x..1

This configuration parameter was deprecated with Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0Released on 11 October 2018 and compatible with MW 1.27.0 - 1.31.x. in favour of option SMW_FACTBOX_PURGE_REFRESH to configuration parameter $smwgFactboxFeaturesSets the behaviour of features related to the factbox streamlining the overall configuration of Semantic MediaWiki.1 Thus you are advised to migrate your settings in "LocalSettings.php" to the new configuration parameter since this one will be removed with the release of Semantic MediaWiki 3.1.0Released on 23 September 2019 and compatible with MW 1.31.0 - 1.33.x. in 2019.

This configuration parameter requires configuration parameter $smwgCacheTypeSets which object cache Semantic MediaWiki should use to track temporary changes be set to something else than CACHE_NONE; otherwise caching will have no effect.

Default setting

$smwgFactboxCacheRefreshOnPurge = true;

This means that each purge request (no new page revision) will invalidate the factbox cache.

Changing the default setting

To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the enableSemantics() call:

Disable the refreshing of data when purging a page

$smwgFactboxCacheRefreshOnPurge = false;

This means the factbox cache will be only reset after a new page revision.
