Looks like we have a big page lock coming. Big in the sense of many pages and big in the sense that the pages to be locked are too big.
It looks like pages over 500, 000 characters (html formatted, that is) are crashing the server when someone tries to edit them.
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.
Here's a list of the pages impacted.  Also see this page: Overly Long Pages

Err... Isn't that the same as the previous list?

I'll alert the folks from the character development thread.
@Oreochan: No. Checked the edits of American Dad!, the bullet points counts match.
I'll take

I'll also do Star Wars, Transformers Prime, Angel, Warhammer and Ace Attorney.
ETA: Did Star Wars and Warhammer. Someone might think of moving part of the description over in the latter.

I really wish you'd consulted with the 40K thread before splitting that page...some of them are so small that making them their own pages is really pointless.

Sadly, Willbyr, I am not familiar enough with the media forums to know that there is such a thread.
That said, I am ready for any fix.

I need to take a look at character counts and see if any fat can be trimmed from those pages...once that's done, I'll see about rolling some of them together.
Another Wizard boy
From a quick look at the character counts, the Mutants and Squats pages might fit together. Maybe the Emperor + Primarchs as well.
Also, split Characters.Angel; there were only 4 folders. On Characters.Ace Attorney Witnesses And Other Characters and Characters.Transformers Prime, are we in agreement to split according to folders?

Before anyone does Characters.Neon Genesis Evangelion—it will help immensely to move everything pertaining to Rebuild of Evangelion on that page to a new character sheet for the latter work. I'd do it myself but I want to remain as unspoiled as possible...I'll put a note in the NGE thread in the Anime forum.

Then punch in the name of the work in the Search Forum Titles box if you're not finding it in the requisite forum. "Not being familiar with the media forums" is no excuse, especially since they're ridiculously simple, especially for someone already familiar with the wiki.

One little note: When you split up pages, it would help if you also set the page type of the new pages to "subpage" or "examples", depending on which one applies.

WMG.The Dresden Files is over 416K characters and is breaking the folder code...I'd split it myself but the way it's organized, I have no idea where to start. Can someone that's familiar with those works take care of this?
