Troubleshooting

When you make changes to data, it likely won't update everywhere immediately. Semantic MediaWiki caches data to prevent constant calculations from overwhelming the web server. Changes should be reflected across the wiki no later than 24 hours after they're made. You can hurry this process along by visiting relevant pages (such as the jam occurrence, jam series, and stats pages) and adding &action=purge to the browser URL. Do this in order from most specific to most general for best results.

Templates used for jam stats are organized in Category:Jam data templates.

User:Ironnori originally created the jam data structures and leaderboards. She is happy to answer questions and assist with troubleshooting, upgrades, or learning how the system works.
