Problems with disappearing page content
Several contributors have encountered pages whose content seems to be missing, displaying only an empty blue area where the content used to be and the bar with the categories. To fix this add ?action=purge to the end of the URL, like this: https://bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/BioShock_Wiki?action=purge. This will refresh the page by reloading it completely.

To add this tool, go to Special:Mypage/wikia.js and create a page with importScriptPage('PurgeButton/code.js', 'dev'); as content. If you want to use this tool on all the wikis on Wikia, go to w:special:Mypage/global.js.

- One image is enough, preferably a logo, audio diary or voxophone picture.
- A good quote at the top is preferable, it does not need to be the one from the article. If yo…
