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
Edited by kory on Dec 18th 2023 at 2:36:21 AM
Characters.Skyrim Other Characters is giving the warning.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.I have no idea which grouping makes sense, but since the warning's apparently been on the page for years, I wonder if nobody would care however the split goes.
I'd separate them out by the Holds.
Characters.Pokemon Generation V Minccino To Genesect is now giving the warning.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Warning's gone after I removed one IUEO violation.
That doesn't mean it won't come back later on, so let's figure out how to split. Should we compile the entire list (including the other half) and split the full list into three pages?
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportIf you split roughly evenly along the Pokedex, you would get:
Snivy to Whimsicott (495-547)
Petilil to Ferrothorn (548-598)
Klink to Genesect (599-649)

Would giving the Unovan Legendaries and Mythicals their own page help?

Characters.Elden Ring Enemies And Bosses: Split into enemies and bosses even though internally it's split by area?
Also got less than 9500 tropes to check if they go on Overdosed Tropes. Which has 1900+ tropes listed, counting the commented-out ones too. Should the page be split somehow?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Overdosed Tropes isn't triggering the warning, but the page is over 400 KB and doesn't have a lot of extraneous elements outside the area that "counts" so if it gets too many more entries it could become a problem. If that happens, though, the likely solution would be to hike the threshold for inclusion.
I think the new threshold should be 10,000. That should be a large enough jump to ensure those pages are impressive again while still having a long list of well-known tropes (232 tropes). But I'd do that when it actually triggers the warning.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Pretty confident it's over 2000 at this point. We've been locating and adding a couple pages every day. If it were to be made 10k+, I would make the 7.5k-10k section the commented-out bit like the current 2k-2.5k section is. The "waiting in the wings" portion, basically.
Vehicle-Based Characterization | Grief-Induced Split | Locker MailWould like plans to keep the things between the new and old threshold somewhere, because I like seeing numbers go up, and historical and tracking reasons, but if enough people want to cut that bit out completely, ah well.
Was thinking that both types of Overdosed, Trope Overdosed / Trope Kilowicked and Overdosed Tropes pages could parallel each other in naming and ranges, but they are based on different concepts.
02-2023 has 1000+, 03-2023 has 222.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576If you keep the thresholds the same, there are way more Overdosed Tropes than Trope Overdosed works. There are only 17 pages in the top two folders of Trope Overdosed, and those are the pages with 2000 fewer references than the new proposed minimum for Overdosed Tropes.
I believe right now, 2500 is the threshold for OT while 2000 is the threshold for TO, and TO is nowhere near the point of triggering the warning. I don't think we need to hike the OT threshold all the way up to 10k, though on the other hand there are less than a third as many trope pages as work pages. A part of me wants to see how the TRS megaproject thread resolves, and if there's a certain number of references that ends up triggering restrictions on new threads, that's the maximum threshold I'd support, but that thread seems to have stalled pending hard data on what that threshold should be.
I wonder if some Overdosed Tropes are just due to needing clean-up or more subtropes.
Should be about 1950 now. Going from N to A. 8K left or something.
I know that Added Alliterative Appeal has / had issues with people using it for Alliterative Name.

Number one fan of characters that appear only once and ultimately were a recurring character either in disguise or trying a new image.The "Hulk original and ongoing series" section seems to mainly be folders that hold links to other works? Could just be an index of bullets?

"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."Split off A? From mobile scrollbar it looks to be about 1/7 of this page that has 12 letters of the alphabet?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576The more obvious thing to do would be to a) move the M's to the N-Z page or b) re-split the whole list into three parts. The N-Z page is over 400 KB so I'd favor the latter.
- Sounds good. My only skin in this project is as it relates to site stability and Overdosed Tropes, which is holding 1960 or so, with about 6500 left to check.
EDIT: I'd say it's closer to 1970 now, whenever this is. 6350 left or so.

Macron's notesFrom looking at the Wiki Word source with my scroll bar, that seems to be about more than a third of the page, so it should work, unless the issue has been around for longer than I thought.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThanks for the update for those who don't follow the page!
...
That Characters.Pokemon Sword And Shield has had a split and seems to be fine now too, but still on the index, and I haven't checked how close it is to being a concern again.
...
Overdosed Tropes report: I'd say we're at 1975 tropes listed, and I have yet to check about 6000.
EDIT: And now 1980 something. Gotta be.

Thanks.
Perhaps Magolor and the Lor Starcutter can be part of a separate Magolor page? After all, the Lor Starcutter is his ship.
Magolor is also the sole playable character in the Magolor Epilogue, which is exclusive to Deluxe.
