--- Comment #4 from Michael Mantel <[email protected]> --- I respect the goal of the 10-second limit, but it seems to me that the time limit in combination with the getExpandedArgument issue is overconstraining the problem. "Big templates" like {{weather box}} tend to use a lot of "small templates" like {{hexadecimal}} and {{rnd}}. Where do we begin in converting these to Lua? If we start with the big template, we'll have to make lots of expandTemplate calls to the small templates, which may easily take us over the 10-second limit. Instead we started with the small templates, but the inputs involve a lot of complex parser functions, so getExpandedArgument takes us over the limit. The only option left is, as Tim says, that "everything be converted to Lua simultaneously". But how is that workable under the wiki model? Who is going to coordinate this mass simultaneous conversion? Will we work on hundreds of template sandboxes for months, and just pray that everything works perfectly together when they're all switched over? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
