Thread:Project:Support desk/Template include size is too large/reply

Note: such pages also have the tracking category on w:mediawiki:post-expand-template-inclusion-category added. Main space vs not main namespace should not make a difference ( however preview vs not preview will).

When this sort of thing happens, the template should get changed to a link, and an html comment added after the link (as a strip item). I don't see any obvious ways of testing for that, especially now that all the bugs related to certain parser funcs seeing strip markers have been fixed.
