Milestone issue

Hey Jay the error was being caused due to the edges of map coordinates itself being off by just the tiniest in the .js page, likely because of an unmentioned change by SSG with a recent update. Thanks for letting me know it was also the reminder I needed to pick the project back up again :) Also don't forget to sign any talk pages with your name by using 4 tilde ~~~~ it will insert your name and the date and time of the comment. I've done so via Unsigned template on your comment on my page. Eldalleth (talk) 08:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the issue was actually not caused by the coordinates; neither the ones for the map edges nor the ones given on the Milestone page – on the contrary, those were a fair bit away from the edges, into the map. No, the problem was in fact caused by the sheer number of template calls to {{Tooltip Coords}} on the page. The system can only handle so much, and when that number is reached it throws a "template include size exceeded" error and any additional template calls after that will show as 'Invalid Coordinates' (and flagged as an additional error because of that). I fixed this last night, on that page. The problem is described here, and can also be seen by editing the Milestone page, removing that line at the top and then do a Show Preview without saving the page – in which case the problems will reappear in the tables below. So there you go; quite a sneaky problem, with a somewhat tricky fix! Hope this helps. :)

(Elda, FYI your milestone project page also suffers from this same issue, for the same reason.)
