Operationally, I've noticed that templates don't seem to be getting through the jobs queue, sometimes for days.
The job queue at the moment has only 17,426 entries in it. That's pretty low, so it seems the queue is getting processed at a reasonable rate. Perhaps you got unlucky and made your changes during a technical blip? They do happen from time to time.
Does multiple edits to a template continue the old entries, or replace them with newer entries, or leave multiple sets of entries?
I believe one article can appear multiple times in the job queue but all entries of that article will be removed when the first one is processed (so the number I quoted above is probably an overestimate). At least, that's how I understand it.
