Scripts are loaded on Wikia through two different functions: If you're using ResourceLoader you can add ?debug=true to your URL which will force the most recent version of a script to load amongst other things that are helpful when developing a new script or debugging something that isn't working as expected.
 * importArticles, which loads scripts through ResourceLoader (load.php)
 * importScript (and variants) which loads through index.php

If you're using importScript, importScriptPage or importScriptURI it's a bit more involved. Normally a script might load through /index.php?title=Foo.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript However, that could take a while to uncache after an update. To get around this, you can use a URL like /index.php?title=Foo.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&smaxage=0andmaxage=0 which will always use the newest version of the script. If you want to look how an override of these functions might look, I've done so in my global.js.
