Re: Template limits and server loads

I think I was unclear. "Template value" is probably what you call "on
pages".

For example -
{{Notes_Section
|Import_Notes=
{{{!}} class="wikitable"
{{!}}-
!Property
!Description
{{!}}-
{{!}}[[dom/properties/constructor|'''constructor''']]
{{!}}Returns a reference to the constructor of an object.
{{!}}}
}}

The red text (the value of Import_Notes) is a "template value".
Sometimes, there are huge tables. Is that fine?
