I'm not very experienced with the lua templating or even templating in general. But the way I see it, this will always be a problem. You are attempting to p ush the templates to do something they weren't designed to.

Based on my limited experience, I'd do the following:


 * Enable the [DynamicPagelist] extension;
 * Use ExpandTemplate [API call]

Now for the tactics. There are numerous ways to do this, one way is to split the tasks and have various templates generate only a discrete amount of data, which other templates parse and use.

Another option is like you said using Javascript. Alternatively you could always use a [bot] that will take care of all that automatically.
