[[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: |

This module helps avoid problems with templates that might exceed expand size or time and which might put a page in an error tracking category:
- Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded or
- Category:Pages with script errors (time exceeding 10 seconds).
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.
Columns-list
Some articles use {{columns-list}} to show lists of items in multiple columns. The module only supports cases using colwidth and no other parameters. Given that limitation, using the module requires an expansion size only a little more than the size of the wikitext, while the template requires an amount three times larger. The following example is from List of least concern fishes.
Wikitext
{{#invoke:biglist|columns-list|colwidth=30em|*[[Aptychotrema rostrata|Eastern shovelnose ray]] ''(Aptychotrema rostrata)''
*[[Aptychotrema vincentiana|Southern shovelnose ray]] ''(Aptychotrema vincentiana)''
*[[Rhinobatos annulatus|Lesser guitarfish]] ''(Rhinobatos annulatus)''
*[[Rhinobatos blochii|Bluntnose guitarfish]] ''(Rhinobatos blochii)''
*[[Rhinobatos sainsburyi|Goldeneye shovelnose ray]] ''(Rhinobatos sainsburyi)''
*[[Trygonorrhina dumerilli|Southern fiddler ray]] ''(Trygonorrhina dumerilli)''
*[[Trygonorrhina fasciata|Eastern fiddler ray]] ''(Trygonorrhina fasciata)''}}
Result
- Eastern shovelnose ray (Aptychotrema rostrata)
- Southern shovelnose ray (Aptychotrema vincentiana)
- Lesser guitarfish (Rhinobatos annulatus)
- Bluntnose guitarfish (Rhinobatos blochii)
- Goldeneye shovelnose ray (Rhinobatos sainsburyi)
- Southern fiddler ray (Trygonorrhina dumerilli)
- Eastern fiddler ray (Trygonorrhina fasciata)
Search
Some project pages list hundreds of topics using {{search}}. An alternative would be to use the module as in the following example.
Wikitext
{{#invoke:biglist|topicsearch|prefix=*|list=
Aalenilla compressa
Aalenirhynchia
}}
Result
- Aalenilla compressa – (wp gwp g bwp b | eb 1911 co gct sw arc ht)
- Aalenirhynchia – (wp gwp g bwp b | eb 1911 co gct sw arc ht)
Userlinks
Some WP:LTA pages list hundreds of users using {{userlinks}}. An alternative would be to use the module as in the following example.
Wikitext
{{#invoke:biglist|userlinks|prefix=#|list=
