--- Comment #1 from Daniel Friesen <[email protected]> ---
Prior to the purge action users used null edits to perform the same act.

Some additions like SMW, a Purge extension, and iirc user scripts do expose it
in the UI. It can also be exposed by in-content links like those on most
Forum:Index pages made by DPLForum users and Wikipedia template pages.

The purge action has valid use in cases where the 'underlying [reason]' for the
purge use has an explicit reason it won't be 'fixed'. Purge resets the parser
cache for a single page. This has results like viewing the page with any
template modifications. In this kind of situation the parser cache is not
instantly purged for an explicit reason. The single page in question is
actually one of potentially hundreds needing the exact same purge.
