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.

Explanation of what triggers the too-long page warning

That's going to need some Example Explanation Density and Thread Mode carving, I bet.
It's super effective.

Some of the folder titles for JustBugsMe.Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (namely Hermione Obliviates her parents) are a bit spoilery. Should they be indexed on the main JBM page or just under a Deathly Hallows index?
I changed it to the more spoiler-neutral "Hermione And Her Parents".
Rhymes with "Protracted."
It's super effective.
Okay, maybe I can split that into pages then. I'd also do Characters.Glee, but, well, just press the edit button and see.
OK now, that was just mean. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Which? The Glee one?
Anyway, done Deathly Hallows.
For Character Derailment, should we do an Example Sectionectomy? The examples are mostly just complaining about character shifts you don't like. Seriously, look at the thing.
Hm?
Got Villainous Breakdown.
And ergh, Character Derailment. There's a trope in there, but I don't know whether we should bother trying to rescue it or just cut all the examples.

Take it to the NATTER ALERT guys, see what they think.
It's super effective.
I'm still wondering what blackcat found amusing.
Hm?
...I just looked at Characters.Glee. Dear god. Wish me luck. Think I'll cut all the YMMVs first and see how long it is then.

Have fun.
Hm?
I cut out the YMMV tropes and the character count dropped by 50,000. Someone else can split it if they want, but I'm about to slam my head against the desk.

Old Man Oh Ho: that list of YMMV tropes was ungodly, that was what made me laugh.
I see the Awesomeness.
It's actually, Ho Oh, like the pokemon.
Fight smart, not fair.
It's super effective.
It's 365,000, so it's actually below the splitting threshold for now.
Sorry, Pokemon has never been on my horizon.

I will start on Beyond the Impossible.
edit: Done.

So apparently Germans Love David Hasselhoff has two sections, which seem to be split based on whether or not the reaction is In-Universe.
How should we go about splitting this, since there's only room for one (for example) GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff.Comic Books? Should both the in-universe and not in-universe examples go on the same sub-page?

Cure Candy
Divide the non-fictional examples into separate pages but leave the fictional examples on the main page?
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!
Nuclearneo577's puppet
Or give each oh them there own pages.
How exactly are we going to take on Monster.Anime And Manga?
