[edit]

There seems to be an issue with this template in some articles. E.g. 1930 Brooklyn Dodgers (NFL) season is running out of time executing scripts. No indication why, and it’s not like it’s an overlong or overtemplated article. But looking at the page source the template timing data has

This is one of a handful of articles in Category:Pages with script errors. All Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Rush seasons, which suggests something to do with their data perhaps.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 03:33, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I see the problem. In Module:Gridiron color/data the data for both the "Brooklyn Dodgers 1930thru1943" and "Chicago Rush 2001thru2012" is recursive. It’s probably in an infinite loop trying to interpret it and running out of time. No idea how to fix it though, i.e. what to replace it with.Pinging Cmm3, Ahecht and Charlesaaronthompson who have worked on the data.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 04:03, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnBlackburn: See Module_talk:Gridiron_color#Infinite_loop. I'm working on it. --Ahecht (TALK

The module has been updated so it should avoid such infinite loops, even if the data is bad. It's still possible to create infinite loops if you really try (e.g. ["Team A"] = "Team B" and ["Team B"] = "Team A"), but it at least prevents the situations seen with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Rush. --Ahecht (TALK
