Talk:Minion card list

Pages where template include size is exceeded
'Template:Custom minion card table' and 'Template:Card nav' aren't expanded, they show up as links to the templates. -- Karol007 (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I see Taohinton has already notified the Admins. -- Karol007 (talk) 00:10, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That was actually an earlier issue; the current problems are likely because OOEyes is working on the tech right now, to help fix that one. It should be working again soon. -- Taohinton (talk) 01:10, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, this is a different issue. We're basically hitting or close to hitting several limits, unfortunately:
 * SMW queries are configured to return 500 results at maximum. While this can be increased in configuration, having to do so is really a warning sign, because...
 * MediaWiki won't process templates any more once the page reaches 2MB, which is the problem here. There's some bloat because the simple trick I'm using to fold descriptions under the table rows on narrow displays required the description and flavor text to be included twice. Looks like I'm going to have to make a javascript alternative for that, but we're still pushing 1.5mb even without the double text.
 * And, of course, there was the timeout issue due to the pages too long to save. Yesterday's partial optimizations fixed that.
 * Basically, this isn't what MediaWIki was built for. The best I can do is temporary fixes that will solve the problems for now, but as the number of cards continues to grow, it will be necessary to split the listings up somehow, perhaps by rarity. Even proper card/item database sites don't return over 500 items at once, and most don't even do that much. &mdash; oOeyes  [[Image:User-OOeyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:OOeyes]] 02:13, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hitting the limit
In the process of converting the wiki's tables to work for game formats, my attempt to create the Wild format version of this page is prevented due to the above problems. We will hopefully just about stay within the limits for this page, due to it now only including Standard format cards - if not, I might have to split it into collectible and uncollectible. However, this is the first page to lack a Wild format subpage, which is to say the first type of card for which the wiki provides no means of searching. -- Taohinton (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Request for Card Set column
As subject line. Now that there have been 4 expansions, I think sorting the list in this way would be a useful functionality.
 * As noted above, the current table is already pushing the limits of what the wiki platform (and standard timeouts) will allow us to accomplish. This isn't a great time to add more overhead to the table. &mdash; oOeyes  [[Image:User-OOeyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:OOeyes]] 22:18, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
