Wikipedia talk:Template index/Cleanup/sandbox
The apparent reason for creation of this sandbox at 04:18, 24 September 2010[edit]
Transclusion delay[edit]
This page always takes a very long time (and presumably consumes a lot of resources) to load. I assume this is because there are several hundred templates that need to be transcluded every time the page loads. Does anyone else think it would make sense to do something about this? Here's what I'm thinking: The cleanup templates are fairly stable at this point, they're not changing much. I say we subst all of the templates onto this page, and then perhaps create a bot which re-subst's the page once a week or something. Or, protect all of the templates that are subst'ed on this page (if they're not already), and ensure that all admins know that making changes to any of these templates requires the template to be re-subst'ed here.

- Served by srv208 in 12.008 secs. I guess you are right, however all the actual clean-up templates based on Ambox have anti-subst code... Nonetheless :
- Served by srv286 in 0.065 secs. Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup/sandbox - and a lot of the complexity there is because tlrow tries to do clever stuff with categorisation that we just don't want.

—Since the rest of the edit history seems more to do with re-syncing with Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup than with actual testing, I'm just going to blank the sandbox. Feel free to re-sync if you legitimately need to use it for testing changes. – Wbm1058 (talk) 01:09, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
