Sorry, I should have been clearer. The "Refresh" tab I'm talking about
isn't the "reload" button on the browser, it's a tab within the wiki
page you're looking at, alongside "edit", "history", etc. That tab is
basically just a link to the "?action=purge" query you're talking
about.
The "Refresh" tab, by default, shows up only for administrators; it's
possible that you don't see it because you're not an administrator.
There are two possible solutions that I know about:
1) (this is what's done on my site, discoursedb.org) Make the refresh
tab show up for all users, by commenting out the "if" statement in the
file "/includes/SMW_RefreshTab.php" within the SMW directory
2) (suggested by Fernando Correia) Change the line that sets
"$configdate" in the file "LocalSettings.php", in the main MW
directory, to the following:
$configdate = gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime()); # Disable page cache
The first will allow anyone to refresh any page at any time; the
second will automatically refresh pages every time they're read.
