Template documentation

The Template:La/x provides an extra-fast, extra-small set of links to an article, to be used thousands of times with minimal overhead.

Performance considerations

The Template:La/x was designed, in October 2012, to be much shorter and faster than Template:La, which had a post-expand include size of 1410 bytes, due to invoking Template:Lx. In comparison, {La/x} has an include size of 423 bytes, or 3.3x smaller, over three times smaller by omitting the rare options "watch" and "logs". So, {La/x} uses function {fullurl:} only 2 times, compared to {La} using {fullurl:} 5 times. In many cases, the template {La} can be used, but in long lists of article names, then using {La/x} will generate a list that is over 3 times more compact, more condensed than with template {La}. When {La} can display 50 groups of items, then {La/x} could display 167 similar groups, within the same template resources. The size limitations of {La} had exceeded the post-expand include size when used hundreds of times in page "WP:Copyright problems" which could not display the final 20-30 days of articles in the backlog list.
