Kory: i will need to do some more testing to see if the 500KB should be lowered even more but either way everyone can relax because the database will not crash or implode in anyway due to page size so splitting pages isn't a huge priority and is just more of a suggestion. For pages that actually load slow, splitting the pages will help slower internet users navigate these pages better.
It looks like pages over 500,000 characters (html formatted, that is) are crashing the server when someone tries to edit them. programmer's whine
They need to be fixed, anyway. Way too big for one page. They need to be broken up into subpages of a reasonable size.
I'm trying to get better about communicating before big changes, so we'll let this one run for a while before taking the action. The server crashes do come under the heading of 'urgent', though.
another programmer's thing
Explanation of what triggers the too-long page warning
Edited by kory on Dec 18th 2023 at 2:36:21 AM
JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline The80s is displaying the warning.
Split into Early 80s and Late 80s ("early to mid 80s" folder on Early 80s page) to match how the 90s page is split?
Mweheheh

What was the original rationale for excluding them? If they were somehow controversial, I’d lean no.

Peace is the only battle worth waging.
It wasn't a rock
It's fluff and better summarized in the genre pages themselves. Besides, I don't really see similar works by decade indices listing genres.
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)
Should we now mandate that any Media By Decade page from 1990s onwards be sorted by Year instead of anything else?
Makes Music of the 2020s easier to split later?

Animu
Characters.Baki The Grappler is triggering the warning.
I am legitimately for this
Only issues are the western animation and series pages
But even those could be sorted by started, ongoing and ended
JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline The Decade With No Name is also displaying the warning.
It wasn't a rock
That's going to cause problems for Music. Let's not forget that a lot of these are bands/individuals, and they'd often have multiple releases in a space of time.
Anyways, I've just formed five sandboxes:
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)
The Wanderer
Characters.Fallout Creatures is giving the warning.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Space Molly Weasley
Split into early 2000s and late 2000s since the 90s page was split that way.
Shadow Ranger
Characters.Metro is giving the long page warning. Any thoughts into making sub-pages for the franchise's character page?

VideoGame.Persona 3 is now displaying the too long suggestion. The page was already "soft-split" using folders, but how should the page be "hard-split" into subpages?
With Great Power, Comes Great Motivation
Animu
Characters.Genshin Impact Sumeru, at more than 275k characters, is giving the warning.
Maybe we could merge the characters associated with the desert and the Characters.Genshin Impact Eremites subpage.
The Wanderer
Characters.Fire Emblem Character Classes is giving the warning.
x3 I'd suggest splitting them by game.
x2 I'd measure out the folders by size first.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Bumping my statement since I want more options.
The Wanderer
Shadow Ranger
Space Molly Weasley
Characters.Poppy Playtime now has the banner. I don't know much about the game, but should we split it into the Employees and the Toys?
"Anemone dear, I know you want to be more independent from me, but... please take care, okay?"
Jogo
Animesque and Dark Action Girl are starting to give the too long warning.
"Stand proud, Sukuna, you are strong." | He/Him
the Retromancer
Sounds like it
A humbled version of Halara Nightmare
Characters.Master Detective Archives Rain Code is too long again (mostly due to my own analysis but anyway). Yes, again. Too elaborate of a game, from what I've observed, apparently.
Denial is a weakness. A WEAKNESS.
the Retromancer
- Amaterasu Corporation is 36k
- Peacekeeprs are 104k
- WGO (not counting protagonists) is 32k
I think it's fine to split off Peacekeeprs.

Should the removed genres be moved to a separate page or nah
