# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Documentation?

 * What documentation is there for W3 Total Cache? Both offical and unofficial.
   
   I see: * FAQ: [http://MY_WORDPRESS_SYSTEM/wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_faq](http://MY_WORDPRESS_SYSTEM/wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_faq)*
   FAQ2: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/faq/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/faq/)*
   List of Tutorials: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/other_notes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/other_notes/)
 * Anything else?
 * N.B., all the tutorials seem to be very basic — simple walk-throughs of plugin
   installation. I’m looking for something more technically involved. Short of going
   through the source-code, can anyone offer any leads?
 * Much thanks, especially to Frederick and all the developers!

 * There’s nothing more than those resources. Can you be specific about what you
   want to do?

 * #1) Varnish: When using an array of Varnish caches, with cache purging enabled,
   is there a recommended VCL script?

 * Thank you for the lead, Frederick! I was just embarking on a long list of docs
   on Varnish, both on the main site and on [http://kristianlyng.wordpress.com](http://kristianlyng.wordpress.com)(
   a blog by one of the developers).
 * Does W3TC send wildcards in its PURGE requests? More to the point, does W3TC 
   send the URL as a literal string or as a regexp? (which impacts whether I use
   the 2nd or 3rd code example on that page)

 * No it doesn’t, but I’m working on that.
