Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls

I noticed a bunch of archives exceed the expensive parser function. This is due to the use of {{revisions}}, which uses {{#ifexist}}. Would there be any problems if I substituted the {{revisions}} to avoid this? See this diff for an example. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

This would stop it automatically updating, meaning that:
  • If the page is created/deleted, the history link won't be shown/hidden
  • If there are new AfDs, they won't be linked to
  • If there's an MfD, it won't be linked to.
It won't change anything that is currently linked to. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Well I frequently make use of the afd link. I don't care what happens in archives, but is useful on Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. For TheImaCow's mass request, you could archive it early, or subst as it is completed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Graeme Bartlett, I don't plan on changing the current page, just the archives. Is that okay? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't mind about the archives, as they reflect the state at the end of the REFUND request. So substing in archive is OK by me. It would get a better result than exceeding the parser limit. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I'll run my script. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
