Parser limits (expensive functions)

Module:Track gauge/autodocument uses expensive function calls (especially the documentGauge listing). The wiki parser only allows 500 such calls in one page. As of July 2014, this number is almost reached in (~475 in Template:Track gauge/doc/input options). When, after adding new entries to /data or /extra, the number is reached, a "Script error" will show.

Best practice is to prevent this error: adding content category name to the /data, even if they have default name pattern or do not exist:

 ["contentcat"] = "5 ft 3 in gauge railways",
 -- or
 ["contentcat"] = "",

This way, these category pages are not checked for existence.
