Recently I was waiting for r112570 to be deployed on https://pl.wikipedia.org/. I was logged-in and all the time the previous version number (I believe it was r112130) was displayed there, BUT I then realized by visiting [[Special:CheckUserLog]] that the problem that r112570 solved (described in r112562) was fixed - the missing link reappeared; which means the change must have had been deployed. Having reliable [[Special:Version]] is very important for troubleshooting especially with major upgrades when things are moving fast. Can we do something so that cache for this page is purged on deploy?
Marcin, Logged in users do not get served cached pages in mediawiki. So if you were logged in, you were getting generated content for all calls, no caching. I would advise that the issue of the wrong items showing and appearing cached would possibly on your browser. I have also been advised that special pages are not cached in the typical fashion of the normal pages. I did not look into this, since the above logged in statement makes this not a mediawiki issue.
Are you sure you were looking at the right place? If just CheckUser was updated, core MediaWiki might stay at r112130, well CheckUser extension would have the updated version number.

That's confusing... Thanks. Just seen it with 00:03 <+logmsgbot> !log tstarling synchronized php-1.19/extensions/Collection/Collection.body.php 'r112745' Now I get it. Not that I like it :)
