Track gauge data statistics
Sources Data pages: Module:Track gauge/data/sandbox Data Listed: 900 mm – 950 mm (8 rows) Entries (defined gauges, per unit): 10 Gauges (defined gauges, per size): 8 Entries defined metric: 6 Entries defined imperial: 4 Gauge sizes defined both metric and imperial: 0 Gauge sizes with multiple entries in one unit: 914 mm (3); Aliases (input options): 17 Named definitions (as output link; 0): Entries with an article link: 9 Categories Content categories: 4 "Article mentions track gauge" categories: 8 Articles listed in "mentions" categories: 0 (not unique) Size classes 8 narrow gauges (0 mentionings)

This module has several options to document the Track gauge/data data page of {{Track gauge}}.

Gauges

{{Track gauge/document gauge}}, using documentGauge

Can list in complete tableform one, multiple or all gauges listed in the /data page. Gauges defined in both metric and imperial are grouped into one row.

Per gauge size a link to the category:Articles that mentions this gauge ... is added.

Parser limits (expensive functions)

Module:Track gauge/autodocument uses expensive function calls (especially the documentGauge listing). The wiki parser only allows 500 such calls in one page. As of July 2014, this number is almost reached in (~475 in Template:Track gauge/doc/input options). When, after adding new entries to /data or /extra, the number is reached, a "Script error" will show.

Best practice is to prevent this error: adding content category name to the /data, even if they have default name pattern or do not exist:

 ["contentcat"] = "5 ft 3 in gauge railways",
 -- or
 ["contentcat"] = "",

This way, these category pages are not checked for existence.
