South Dakota Counties
Thanks for adding all those infoboxes! /Timneu22 12:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

County1 Template
There seems to be a problem with the Template:County1. See List of counties in Illinois as an example. You will see in that article that it is fine until Crawford County, but then it blows up. Same problem on List of counties in Montana. There is some discussion on the talk page for the template. I have played around with the list and have not been able to resolve the problem. I don't know enough about the template to know if it is a problem with the template or something with the way it is used. Jopgaard 03:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I am aware of the problem, but I do appreciate you letting me know about it. There is a problem in the Wikimedia source code with multiple inclusion of the same templates that call several inner macros or use result testing such as case statements, because the macro processor mistakenly believes, for example, in the case of a macro that has, say 100 or 200 lines, that the enire macro is being included, when perhaps it generates one or two lines. (For example, the macro that looks up the state, is called twice on each table entry (once to look up the FIPS page on the census bureau and once for the state name) and uses a case statement, thus, technically it references 100 lines it only generates two.)  This causes the macro processor to incorrectly estimate the amount of generated data and causes the page (erroneously) to cross the limit of 2 megabytes of generated data.  When a page is determined to have crossed the two meg limit, the macro processor will no longer translate further inclusions.  This causes spurious errors.  A workaround I have used to fix this problem is to use subst: in front of some, then save the page.  This will, in some cases, free up enough space to allow the page to finish renedering properly.  In some cases I've had to open, subst, save and lather, rinse, repeat several times to reduce all macro calls to the actual wiki/html code and once it drops to the point it isn't generating as much code, then it fixes it.  I have an idea on something I can try, I may try it in the sandbox and see if it works, if it does that will fix the problem.  Personally I'd like to keep the use of macros, they allow the page to be written cleaner, but if I have to lose the macros to get the pages to render correctly I'll do it.
