Too many parser calls (over the limit)

This template is not to be used on county sites at all. This will create parser calls over the limit. It is intended to be use for state page and state topic pages only.

We are trying to expand specific information under each category. This type of template is "over the head" and will create  a large scale headache down the pike. We already encountered this problem with locality templates, can't allow totality of over 100 at all. Utah has the correct template with correct parameters. dsammy 05:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Parser call limit. It is relatively simple to eleminate excessive parser calls. Notice how I do it and plug the standard navbox on counties without exceeding your parcer limit.

Navbox on the state page. The state page on all the other states is designed to be an attention grabbing whole-page navigation bar to all the other pages dealing with that state. Therefore, there is nothing to be gained by putting this kind of odd extended navbox on a state page that is already serving that purpose. It becomes navigation overkill.

Questionable innovations. There are two sections on this navbox that are a bit mysterious. What is the purpose of the Historical Records Collections (Vermont and United States)? Those collections should already be covered in the Topics. Seems redundant to me.

National stuff on the national level please. Moreover, there should never be United States "stuff" at the state level. National stuff should stay on the national level. At most there should be no more that one sentence once suggesting the reader also check for material at the national level. A good breadcrumb trail already hints at national level material.
