Pages where template include size is exceeded

I confirmed that the reason the VC Grastas are not showing up is b/c of exceeding the size limitation. If you strip out other components of the page, you can see that it shows up perfectly. Like https://anothereden.wiki/w/Tome_Location_List and others before this, it has just gotten far too big!!:-)

I will probably attempt to fix this myself if someone doesn't beat me to it, though in the meantime I just wanted people to be aware of this.

the idea is - if its row template that repeats itself a lof of times on page inside queries, dont put a lot of repeating subtemplates or logics inside row template. Cause it will repeat and multiply.

Indeed - and some of that bloat we can cut back significantly and immediately, which would delay the issue for awhile, although like the case with Tomes, if people actually like the capabilities that having it offers, especially the ease of filtering and searching, then we may want to switch over to leave room for that plus also future expansion.

Right now the searching is becoming significantly more functional - almost anything you see written down, you can start typing in the box and see more of the same. The exceptions atm are stats (though I plan to add those too - e.g. someone could type "LCK +" and see what happens), and Type (Attack/Life/Support/VC - that one I don't plan to add since it's broken up into those tabs anyway), but like you can start typing "amnesia" or "fire" or "fists", even "shareable", rather than use the clickable button interfaces. That may even help with translation issues from a language other than English.

But that does require repeating information - e.g. neither Power of Inferno nor Power of the Blaze nor Flame Crush contain the word "fire", and to find things from Zami requires yet another column's info, and e.g. crit rate could be a primary effect or an addition via dormant ore awakening. Theoretically we could have different search boxes for different fields, but it is nice to have it all in one like this? I've looked and played around but could not found a way to get that search box to make use of multiple data-keys, or something else like apply the action to the entire row whenever text from any of the columns is matched, so my solution was to simply duplicate it all into that one data-key=name, even as the text is also there for display in the appropriate column.

As the set of grastas gets larger and larger, my thought was that the act of simply reading through them one by one - especially by a newer player!!!! - will become less and less viable over time, and thus the tools for searching & filtering them more and more crucial to dealing with that, thus justifying the additional overhead in return for the ease of use it provides. But maybe even this is too little too late - perhaps a different solution is needed entirely, something like the DataTables display used to show the cats, with that search bar? But it seemed like something should be done, b/c right now it's getting unwieldy.
