Limitations

It looks like this currently only allows for 37 total, but the code appears to include up to 50. I doubt we really need more than say 25, so I propose we cut it down to just 25. This will reduce the complexity of the code as well. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 20:02, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, due to the nested expression depth limitation, the limit was effectively 37 films. I have gone ahead and cut the template down to a maximum of 30. I believe this is still far higher than the record number of films in a series, or at least in a highest-grossing film franchise. Another option would be to just unnest the list at the end. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 20:08, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
