@Flightmare: Your post left me with a lot of questions.

Flightmare wrote: Copying properties into subpages is no less redundant than the current list-situation. Where, in the example I posted, you see the redundancy?

Flightmare wrote: Balagog gro-Nolob nailed the biggest issue: Our lists are long and we will hit that transclusion limit. Do you have an example of such a list, we could use for testing?

Flightmare wrote: Transclusions won't be cached and every single user requesting a page, requires the website engine to process all linked pages. This will have a huge impact. Are you sure? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion

Flightmare wrote: Dynamic Page Listing seems the way to go for me. Those are enabled but disfavored as well since they can hit performance as well. But I think this won't be a big issue since our page properties don't get changed often, and we can cache those list-pages after generation. I looked at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(third-party) but failed to see how that would solve the data redundancy, could you give us an example of what you had in mind?
