This is the documentation page for Module:Biglist

This module can emulate a list of {{userlinks}} entries or a list of {{search}} entries. It is not intended for use in articles.

Using this module to replace a large list of entries can significantly reduce the resources required to generate the page, making editing and viewing an uncached page faster. In addition, using the module may reduce the template post-expand include size sufficiently to remove the page from Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded.

Example usage

{{#invoke:biglist|userlinks|prefix=#|list=
Example
Jimbo Wales
}}

{{#invoke:biglist|topicsearch|prefix=*|list=
Aalenilla compressa
Aalenirhynchia
}}

Result

  1. Example (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log)
  2. Jimbo Wales (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log)

The module only works for built-in items, currently userlinks and topicsearch. The module generates the output using search-and-replace—no templates are expanded.
