Updating Notes

Because Mediawiki caches pages to improve performance the template will only update when the page is purged, this happens when a page, or any templates on a page are edited. The cache is also invalidated and purged every $wgParserCacheExpireTime seconds (the default is 24h) see this page for more info.
