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

Main.Mind Rape has been split.
Edit: I've also PM'd Superslinger 2007 about his very long troper page. Hopefully he'll be able to work out a way to split it.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I already pm'd him when it was over 5000+. He shorted it and split it offsite to about 4700k and I forgot to tell him he needs to do more. But pm'ing is a good idea anyway.
Working on Light Is Not Good and the rest of the trope pages.

Headscratchers.Harry Potter Universe is taken care of, making 11 pages full of Harry Potter headscratchers.
Edit: Oh. My mistake. The Deathly Hallows one is split into 16 parts. This makes 26 pages.

Going to try WMG.The Legend Of Zelda now. I'm sure a lot of non-series in general or between-games WMGs are already in place.
Edit: Actually, no. I have no idea how to categorise some of them. On top of that, reading "every Zelda is the same story" bullshit is too disheartening.

Hoist by His Own Petard has been done.
TV Tropes as a Gateway Drug done. ShoutOut.Video Games at least has been trimmed down, but I may want to continue on with the split if needs be...

How exactly can I understand that the page is over limit, other that actually measuring its size? I noticed that on Fridge.Homestuck, folder markup does not work; is it related?

I'll try to take care of One Of Us.
BTW, can we see an updated list of pages not yet accounted for?
EDIT: And it's done!

Fridge.Homestuck isn't over the page limit (it's at ~225,000 characters). I think folders have size limits, though, so I suspect that the problem is that first folder is too large.
I'm doing StargateSG-1 now. Can we get a new page length report? The other one is from over a month ago.

Fairy Tail and Harsher in Hindsight are done.
