Read-only page doesn't show the same content as when logged-in

This happens when looking at this page: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Workgroup

When anonymous:

When logged in:

Since the page list is auto-generated, is it possible that a new Workgroup page creation doesn't reset the cache of that page?

@zimbatm I opened https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Workgroup?action=purge and clicked OK. This invalidates the MediaWiki cache (and apparently is allowed without login?)

I need to research MedaWiki caching behavior. No idea whether this is to be expected or broken in this specific setup.

Seems like there are 2 caches (authenticated and unauthenticated), and the action you performed reset the unauthenticated one.

Maybe there's a way to reduce them to just one cache, or to keep them in sync automatically/periodically.
