Hey, I see you are running into the issue of exceeding template limits. To get around this name a page "Title/<job>". Then on the main title page, in this case "All Jobs Gear Sets" type:

{{:All Jobs Gear Sets/<job>}}

For example:

{{:All Jobs Gear Sets/Warrior}}

This will call that page to the main title page. So you can have as many templates for gear as you want by breaking it up this way within the limit. You will have to edit those pages individually (there is also a recache period) if you have changes, but this is how massive pages with tons of template calls have to be handled. --Spicyryan (talk) 21:13, 30 April 2023 (UTC)



Thanks. Unfortunately, it seems that method is not enough to get around the limit. The main title page appears to be stuck at a shared 2MB "Post-expand include size" limit. Each single gear set appears to take up ~19KB worth of that limit due to the 16 32x32 pixel equipment icons included per gear set. This leaves enough space only for 110 gear sets total per single BG page, which is only about one-third of what I was hoping to include.

In addition to the "Post-expand include size" limit, I'm half-way to reaching the 2MB "Template argument size" limit with only 5/22 jobs included.

Unless there is a way to get around these limits, then I think the only option is to include links to the job sections instead of embedding them into the main page, which is less interesting.

I've not messed around with a limit after transclusion to verify this. I was under the belief that transcluding several pages into one would bypass the template limit. I guess I can check with your pages later and find out. Still appreciate you adding these here though.--Spicyryan (talk) 13:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
