;Purpose
:[[Template:Variants manual]] uses many "#ifexist", that is expensive function and the number of calls on 1 page is limited to 100 times. [[Template:Variants lite]] avoids using "#ifexist," so this template is not limited in the number of calls. Unlike [[Template:Variants manual]], [[Template:Variants lite]] does not perform either bracket completion or limited validation of building names.
:This template is designed as a subroutine of [[Template: Variants]]. Though this template works stand-alone, but this is unrecommended.

;Usage
:This template accepts the following parameters:
::<code>{{{1}}}</code>: Common part of the machine name for all tiers, such as "Pipe" and "Boiler."
::<code>{{{2}}}</code> - <code>{{{8}}}</code>: Remaining part of the machine's name, such as "II" and "(Gas)." '''Notably, brackets cannot be omitted.'''
::<code>{{{skipunmarked}}}</code> (optional): You shall specify "skipunmarked = yes" if the building whose name is an exact match as {{{1}}} does not exist like a Boiler. Also, you can use this option when you do not want to list building with tier 1. See also an example.
::<code>{{{sep}}}</code> (optional, rare): Specify separator. Default: &bull;(•)
:This template requires the page of 1st tier of the machine in the wiki. Notably, all parameters are case-sensitive.
:The parameters work as the following instead of above when <code>irregular = yes</code> is specified.
::<code>{{{1}}}</code>: The page name of 1st tire machine.
::<code>{{{2}}}</code>: The name of 1st tire machine. Default value: <code>{{{1}}}</code>
::<code>{{{3}}}</code>, <code>{{{5}}}</code>, <code>{{{7}}}</code>, ..., <code>{{{15}}}</code>: The page name of 2nd - 8th tire machine.
::<code>{{{4}}}</code>, <code>{{{6}}}</code>, <code>{{{8}}}</code>, ..., <code>{{{16}}}</code>: The abbreviated name of 2nd - 8th tire machine. They ares shown in square brackets.
