Forum:Template Configuration Changes Coming

Hello,

In order to improve site performance and guarantee site health, Wikia has decided to lower the maximum number of templates that can be transcluded into a page. Even if the templates are fairly straight forward, pulling them into a page can still be a technically costly process when the number of transcluded templates reaches the hundreds of thousands. Wikia is thus setting the limit at 300,000 template transclusions, a number that 99.99% of pages on our network fall below.

That said, some of the pages that are above 300,000 transclusions exist on this particular wiki. Once this limit is changed, pages which are "above" the limit will display an error on the page where the 300,001st template call is made.

General suggestions for effectively curtailing the number of templates on these pages is to divide the page into appropriate subpages or possibly to combine a number of templates together instead of reusing the same template over and over. Another common issue we see is “nested” templates (templates within templates within templates). Merging some of the code into a single, “flat” template will dramatically decrease the number of transclusions.

If you would like specific advice regarding any of these pages, feel free to leave a reply here and we will look into it further.

Here are the pages on your wiki that have template transclusions over the forthcoming limit:

We want to opt out. SeaTerror (talk) 23:48, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

i dont know whether or not we have a choice or not but if we do i agree with st-- 23:52, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

To me it looks like this is just an automated or copy/pasted message, so don't expect a fast response from staff. And judging by the wording of it, I don't think we have a choice in the matter. What we need to do first is find out where the 300,000 transcluded templates are in each of the pages, then work on lessening the number of templates. I've obviously not checked every single linked page, but those that I have checked have all been Episode/OVA pages. Perhaps most of the transclusions lie in the Episode box or the similar templates used on all of those pages? If it comes down to it, we might just have to completely redesign some of our templates from the ground up in order to avoid having so many transclusions. I'm no code genius, so I think we'll need the input of those who actually know what they're talking about before we can really figure out how to deal with this. 00:27, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

I really don't know what's this all about so I'll back off

Joekido (talk) 00:45, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Did I misunderstood or did he just said that Episode Special 4 has more then 300,000 template transclusions? (included nested and same template calls) How is that possible? And how can you count the template transclusions?

This comment doesn't seems to tell that number...
