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

"Jerkass Woobie, Running Gag and Genre Savvy are all done."
I've asked if we could split Running Gag twice already. I don't think someone pointed out the character count during those.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Did Goddamned Bats, except the Other and Other RPGs folders who will have to be taken by someone more experienced at videogames than me.

The Other Troper
How about we put this thread as a wiki headline, considering how many of these need work?

Nah, we can handle it. I told the We Are Pokemon Trainers folk to handle their page. The rest should be easy enough.

It wouldn't hurt to have a general announcement that any page that exceeds 400k characters should be split. That way maybe fewer would come to this thread.

We sadly can not announce every thing on the wiki. We really need a wider read and produced newsletter. >_<

The Other Troper
I was going to start on Batman Gambit, but noticed a lot of examples that don't fit. I think we should take that trope trope repair before splitting.
