The citation templates used on a large article consume much more of the template resources than string functions, as well as stupid things like the innumerable {{SubatomicParticle}} calls (and their endless subtemplates) on [[List of baryons]] etc. Reducing the template limits would break all these cases, and they're not scenarios which could be 'fixed' with proper string functions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
