Output from Special:EntityData is cached for 31 days. Looking at the code, it seems we are not automatically purging the web caches when an entity is edited - please file a ticket for that. I think we originally decided against it for performance reasons (there are quite a few URLs to purge for every edit), but I suppose we should look into that again.
You can force the cache to be purged by setting action=purge in the request. Note that this will purge all serializations of the entity, not just the one requested. -- daniel Am 29.02.2016 um 22:02 schrieb Markus Krötzsch: > Hi, > > I found that Special:EntityData returns outdated JSON data that is not in > agreement with the page.
