I find templates very convenient. Unfortunately, they are so convenient that I want more than five on a given page.
Q: is there a setting I can adjust, so I can use more than 5 templates on a wiki page?
PS. I'd also be interested to know whether templates scale well. This is because I'd like to use a template about 50 to 100 times in a page, and if that would cause a terrible performance hit, I'd like to know that. (The site does not get a lot of usage, and it won't ever get much ... the page in consideration is a little corner of the site where I put links to powerpoint files I store on another site, for the courses I teach.)

Right at the top of Parser.php.

Try it and see if it's fast enough for your needs.
