+## Clear issue and merge request description template names cache
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/54706) in GitLab 13.10.
+
+If the issue or merge request description template names in the dropdown
+do not reflect the actual description template names in the repository, consider clearing
+the Redis cache that stores the template names information.
+You can clear the cache of
+[all issues and merge request templates in the installation](#clear-cache-for-all-issue-and-merge-request-template-names)
+or [in a specific project](#clear-cache-for-issue-and-merge-request-template-names-in-specific-projects).
+
+### Clear cache for all issue and merge request template names
+
+If you want to refresh issue and merge request templates for all projects:
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+```shell
+sudo gitlab-rake cache:clear:description_templates
+```
+
+**For installations from source**
+
+```shell
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear:description_templates RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+### Clear cache for issue and merge request template names in specific projects
+
+If you want to refresh issue and merge request templates for specific projects,
+provide a comma-separated list of IDs as the `project_ids` parameter to the Rake task.
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+```shell
+sudo gitlab-rake cache:clear:description_templates project_ids=10,25,35
+```
+
+**For installations from source**
+
