The larger Template:Alabama had become used in more than 190 articles, with many not needing direct links to all counties of Alabama. - talk ) 09:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC) edit Navbox index crisis 15-Feb-2008: As the navbox Template:Alabama continues to be expanded with more cities or topics, and transcluded into more articles, the Wikipedia indexing is becoming a so-called "N-squared problem" or more accurately an "NxM (N-by-M) problem": when 2,500 articles use a navbox having 200 wikilinks, the overall effect generates 500,000 entries into the Wikipedia index-file database: the seemingly small navbox (with just 200 city/region names and topics) snowballs into a massive half-million entries in the Wikipedia link-files database. Currently (15Feb08), Template:Alabama has 113 wikilinks and is used in over 194 pages, generating over 21,922 total wikilinks. | |
