Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Auxiliary template for {{Overviewpagelist}}. It should not be used directly in articles; use {{Overviewpagelist}} instead.

This template checks whether game-specific pages exist for the given games and returns a list of links of those which do.

Usage

{{Overviewpagelist/aux|game abbreviation}}

Parameters

(default: "{{PAGENAME}}s")

check for

The page to check for. By default, the template assumes that the page names to look for are like the name of the current page with an "s" appended. For non-standard plurals, this parameter can be used to override this behaviour.

Technical

This template uses the parser function #ifexist: which is considered an "expensive parser function", only a limited number of which can be included on any one page (including functions inside transcluded templates). When this limit is exceeded, any further #ifexist: functions automatically return false, whether the target page exists or not.

As such, this template should not be used more than 95 times on a page. 99 is the default value for expensive parser functions per page; this template uses 1 ifexist call per instance, making the theoretical maximum of instances 99. A little "buffer" should be given, hence 95 times maximum.
