How can I mark an article as "dirty" in an extension, so it will refresh every time?
There's not a standard way of doing this, and you really shouldn't. Pages should expect to be rendered the same time every time they're loaded unless something they explicitly pull in has changed (such as template inclusions), and extensions should not break this model.
I think that SEVERELY limits the usefulness of extensions, then!
In effect, it makes MediaWiki the equivalent of static HMTL pages -- except for the editing part.
I'm going to either have to do something about that, or divert stuff out to standard php pages. Ugh.
