It turns out that the reason why trying to edit [[Sokoban]] and [[Sokoban (SLASH'EM)]] was timing out was because using substitutions like <code><nowiki>default={{lightgray|$1}}</nowiki></code> was creating a ''lot'' of transclusions of {{tl|lightgray}}, which overloaded the parser.  Removing those template calls from the substitutions, and instead setting the default char color using a single {{tl|lightgray}} template around the whole &lt;replacecharsblock&gt;, fixed it.

Welcome!

Hi, Quantum Immortal! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!

  • The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
  • Special:Recentchanges is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
  • Questions? Need help? You can ask at the Community Portal, the forum, or on the discussion page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.

You can put {{NAOplayer|NAO player account}} on your user page to link to your NAO player account. Capitalization matters.

Unnecessary information

Your lynx change seems to be unnecessary padding - the article alreaedy has a link to the wikipedia article, which says the same thing. --paxed (talk) 17:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Sokoban pages

It turns out that the reason why trying to edit Sokoban and Sokoban (SLASH'EM) was timing out was because using substitutions like default={{lightgray|$1}} was creating a lot of transclusions of {{lightgray}}, which overloaded the parser. Removing those template calls from the substitutions, and instead setting the default char color using a single {{lightgray}} template around the whole <replacecharsblock>, fixed it.

(This is really a performance problem with the ReplaceCharsBlock extension, and I should look into optimizing it better, but in the mean time, this trick should take care of the issue in practice.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 00:15, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
