[edit] Template resource limits

21-Sep-2007: The processing requirements for Template:Location_map_skew seem to push the limits of available resources in Wikipedia. It is a tedious template, of over 1060 lines; however, the processing of MediaWiki language ("{{#if: xx |then |else}}") seems to have a memory leak. While formatting an article, there is a limit to how many times templates can be used, since each usage subtracts from the total resources allowed for processing templates. Rather than release resources when a template is finished, Wikipedia (or MediaWiki) gunnysacks the prior resource usage (such as number of parameter names in use), subtracting from the total allowed for processing templates. Avoiding some earlier templates within an article might allow later templates to run without issue. Also, it might be possible to specify a code to flush/release template resources to process more within an article. -Wikid77 05:25, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
