Thread:Help talk:$smwgFactboxUseCache/Don't get it/reply (3)

"Historical data" never worked with the Factbox, now it only ensures the users doesn't take it for granted by displaying a message.

If you are still not sure as to what and how  is used (I think the description is quite clear namely to lower latency when Factbox content needs to is parsed), just use the legacy setting (false) and the Factbox build will be executed on each page request whether the content has changed or not.

For some idea about cache vs. non-cached, see [1].
