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

Can we get a new page report, please? The last one was four months ago.
Macron's notes
We seriously need a new page report.
EDIT: Cracked went over 400,000 - I split it.

So I split Funny.The Runaway Guys. Can we have a new page report now? It's been several months since the last one (I think).

Got those two. Now have to sleep. I did drop notes in a number of the discussion pages, though.

And now I've done Series.Friends as well. Good night.

Dropped a note about splitting into the Pantheon.Combat discussion page and the Adventure Time forum thread, and I notice that Discar has already notified the Characters.Breaking Bad discussion about the need for the split there.
EDIT: Split UsefulNotes.Conspiracy Theories.
EDITEDIT: Also split Mohs Scale Of Rock And Metal Hardness.

Sent PM to Tropers.Century about his page. It should all fit on Unpublished Works.
Put the list on a sandbox (Sandbox.Overly Long Pages December 2013) and sorted the finished ones.
Tropers.Century got his page, and I got MassEffect.Mass Effect Race Tropes.
I did Self-Deprecation and Webcomic.Questionable Content.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I did Horrible.Video Games yesterday.

Hi
I put the link to the sandbox in the header post.
I'll take care of a few pages tomorrow.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
I've split Crossover, Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and One-Scene Wonder.
I've also posted in the work thread for WMG.Warhammer 40000. I've also messaged Tropers.Discontent.
That said, what do we do with Nothing Is Scarier? Soft-split pages are a problem here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Got Characters.Warcraft The Horde.
And I'd say merge Nothing Is Scarier, then split by medium like normal. Soft-split trope pages are pretty much always a pain, and this doesn't need it.
I am done with splitting Main.FilmsDiscussedByMoviebob. Note I did not clean up any Natter that may or may not be in the examples. I just split them per the folders that were already on the page.
I am not sure whether to set the page type as "examples" or "subpage". Right now I have left the page type unset.
