User blog:XMCL/Possible Node-Count Limit Solution

Hello all,

I left pretty much this same post on Dan's message wall, but he hasn't gotten back yet and I really want to start writing again :P I recently contacted Wikia Staff regarding the notorious node-count limit error. The staff member left a recommendation to a solution, and I'd love to see if any admins/bureaucrats would be interested in attempting this possible fix.

I was told that each time a tribe related template is used, all of the colors are loaded in order for the template to load properly, so that means our very lengthy list of tribes is stored in each tribe template. 35 KB has to load with each tribe related template. To compare with the Survivor Wiki, only 9 KB needs to be loaded.

The recommendation I was given was to split up the tribecolor template into multiple templates, for example, we could have, , , etc.

I'm not a very techy guy so I can't confirm if it'll work well, but in my opinion it's definitely worth a try.

Thoughts?
