			[[List of cities by sunshine duration]] has many tables with cells that show the average hours of sunlight in a particular month and location; each cell is colored according to the number of hours. Using {{tl\|Weather box/cols}}, the article had script errors which were removed by replacing entries such as:

			== Storms ==
			The policy section [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball\|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball]] ([[WP:CRYSTAL]]) includes an example of an item from a "predetermined list" of names. The key point of the example is that an event may be likely to occur within a few months, but is not suitable for an article if no encyclopedic information is available. The <code>storm</code> function selects a suitable title from a built-in list. The title is not linked. From January to October (inclusive) in the current year, the entry for that year is shown. That entry should be for an event expected in the next year. In November and December of the current year, the entry for the following year is shown. The result is that the selected event is always at least two months in the future.

Johnuniq: overview

overview

New page

This module can emulate a list of {{tl|userlinks}} entries or a list of {{tl|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'''
<pre>
{{#invoke:biglist|userlinks|prefix=#|list=
Example
Jimbo Wales
}}

{{#invoke:biglist|topicsearch|prefix=*|list=
Aalenilla compressa
Aalenirhynchia
}}
</pre>

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

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

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.
