In a kind of private wiki I made up a glossary, which works with an extra
namespace "Glossar" and a template:glossar.
Page in NS Glossar ('glossar:itemXY'): " {{glossar| a= ... |b= ...}} " (call
the template, create structured information)
Standard content page: "... {{glossar:itemXY}}..." (transclude the glossar page)
Page 'Glossar' - list of all glossar items with explanations (transclude all
glossar pages)
The problem is that this seems to slow down the pageload significantly, as I
often have some 20 or more glossary entries in one standard page (average
pageload two or more seconds).
The question is: Would it make sense to create an extension for my glossary? Or
in other words, could the pageload problem be solved by any kind of extension
(creating something like <glossar>itemXY</glossar>)?
Or else: does the kind of fragmented information sketched here necessarily lead
to slow server performance?
Any advice greatly appreciated...
