[edit] Annotated style

22-Feb-2007: As a new template, Template:Commonscat_show2, is not just a multi-category extension of Template:Commonscat, but is also exploring an annotated style showing examples and listing related templates. There are many templates related to categories, but information comparing or describing the various templates is not easily seen elsewhere. Showing a few examples and related templates should improve productivity. -Wikid77 17:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments are fast

22-Feb-2007: It is certainly worth the extra code to describe a few related templates within each particular template: compared to the size of a typical PNG image, comments added to a template are probably processed over 1,000 times faster than displaying a single PNG image. Speed depends largely on file-size during transfer, just as an HTML browser can scan 5,000 lines of HTML comments per second due to the file-size of those comments. Keep the amount of comments and examples below a thousand lines, and then the comment processing would be a fraction of a second for the template, when included. -Wikid77 17:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
