I don't want to split it into two different lists. With One list repeated twice it's a nice simple copy and paste. At the very least wait and see if anything comes of the current forum efforts. Black Wolf 13:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

MediaWiki caches template calls, but only if there's no parameter list (because it thinks that a parameterless template should always return the same value, an assumption broken by randomselection). You can simply add an empty parameter list to prevent this caching, like I did on {{Main Screens}}. Nx 23:49, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
