==RE: Template:Object position changed?==

Hi.

The template itself is fine, and it works without problems on other pages. The problem you were seeing occurred on the [[Bathtub]] page; this happens because {{t|Object}} is a very complex template, and requires a lot of processing power to maintain itself. The MediaWiki software has technical limits that prevent pages from becoming too complicated, as very complex pages take a long time to parse, and use up a lot of server resources.

In simple terms, the template was used too many times on the page, making the page very complex and resource-intensive for the parser to render. The specific limit that was hit was the "Preprocessor node count", which measures how complex the page is. When this limit was exceeded, the parser simply stopped processing the rest of the page, inserting "Node-count limit exceeded" messages into the areas where it was supposed to parse information.

If you right-click on a page and select "View page source", you can find an HTML comment that has these technical limits, and how close the page was to hitting those limits. For the problematic revision in question, here's the report:

<pre>

<!--

NewPP limit report

Preprocessor node count: 300892/300000

Post‐expand include size: 257111/2097152 bytes

Template argument size: 65729/2097152 bytes

Expensive parser function count: 24/100

-->

</pre>

Note how the "Preprocessor node count" was at 300892, when the limit was 300000. When the page exceeded this limit, that's when the page broke as the parser refused to handle any more data.

The solution to this problem is to not use so many {{t|Object}} templates, or revise {{t|Object}} so that it's less complex. This is not the first time we've encountered this error, and you can see how it was solved on pages like [[Television]] and [[Bar (object)]].
