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

The Characters.Dune has a blue warning.

So does Characters.Cardcaptor Sakura (I'm not sure if someone else pointed out this one before, my memory is murky right now).
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300Platform.Nintendo Switch now has a warning banner.
She/Her | Currently cleaning N/AVaporware.Video Games is giving the warning.

Debating on splitting the player teams and Reapers from the character page, or just by splitting the Player teams into their own page.
- Plan A:
- Reaper's Game Players (166,320 bytes)
- The Reapers (63,579 bytes)
- Remaining Character Page (50,731 bytes)
- Plan B:
- Reaper's Game Players (166,320 bytes)
- Remaining Character Page (114,310 bytes)
Could probably get away with splitting just the players for now. The CSP thread seems to prefer having as few pages as possible, though I don't know how much that's specifically about works with CSPs before they get their hands on them.
Alright then, done-zo.
Japanese Video Games had been run through TLP to alleviate the too-long notice on Japanese Games. Turns out it didn't affect much and triggered a warning on that straight away. Split by alphabetical order?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576I’m curious as to how the warning is triggered. The Japanese Video Games page only has 84,615 characters. Does being a bulleted list affect it?
Edited by costanton11 on May 16th 2024 at 10:20:18 AM
It's probably because there are lots of internal links that generate HTML tags, though I'm not sure if they cause longer load times on slower connections than going over 250k normally.
Edited by animuacid on May 16th 2024 at 5:22:52 PM
What I'm working at currently has as little as 61k and still triggers the notice. The trimming I've made on sandboxes make the notice no longer appear but it's still gonna be quite a while before it's done.

"I just want what everyone else has, that's all."Whoops, I meant IReadThatAs.A To F:
From scrollbar, it seems A+B is about half the screen. Split both into their own page, or each letter has 1?

The Millennium Age of Animation - Split off the "Real-life people associated/directly involved with this era" folder?

Mostly redundant with works-by-decade indices, and adds to Index Bloat (especially where lines between eras are blurred). I'd say remove the lot, but that's just me.

"Stand proud, Sukuna, you are strong." | He/HimSplit somewhere near C or D, because A+B is about a third of the page, judging from my scroll bar.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Maybe solit the individual games section off to another page?
Removed all the ones that are duplicates. Still too long. Wild Arms is weird, because a sub-game has a page but not the whole series.
