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

Brought up Dandadan here
, and insrtead of just those two, we could split the main characters themselves.
Bumping
. I wonder if this one is an easy split, or should the split be redone so that the subpages will be evenly distributed in terms of character count?
Characters.Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation has 278,180 characters.
Characters.Fate Stay Night Humans has 236,364 characters.
Characters.Super Danganronpa Another 2 has 253,049 characters.
All three are giving the warning.
Right, will make a sandbox for it.

Dunno enough about the first two to comment, but for SDRA2, I suggest splitting into one page for the male students and another for the females, like the canon Danganronpa games' charpages, and maybe a CSP for the Otonokoji twins but I wouldn't count on it.

I don't want the world, I just want your half.I made the sandbox for the SDA2 character page.
Super Danganronpa Another 2 Characters - 45,700 characters.
Super Danganronpa Another 2 Female Students - 129,857 characters.
Super Danganronpa Another 2 Male Students - 78,097 characters.
So... I mentioned earlier
(read: two weeks ago) about how large Summary.Live Action Films have gotten since I've merged the genre sub-pages (sans Horror Films). So I was considering resplitting the Comedy, Comedy Drama, and Romantic Comedy sections into Summary.Comedy Films again, given the former's examples take up half of its folder.
~KyrieUmineko There were character pages done earlier for Rin and Kotomine, give Rin hers back, thought you might wanna go to the Character Specific Pages cleanup thread to report it.

How does this Site works?!Not a split, but Series.Squid Game has 2 sub-pages less than 60k bytes, way less than any warning threshold. Should we merge them back or leave them as is?

There's a separate thread for that here on Long-TermProjects.
As I said back here
, I've made a Sandbox on moving almost all the major recurring Pokémon characters in Hunger Games Simulation to their own page. After temp-moving all the relevant folders there, I can confirm that Characters.Hunger Games Simulation Nominators And Co and Characters.Hunger Games Simulation Lore Characters would have their "too long" banners removed. I'm gonna ping ~kablammin45, ~Scipion 3, and ~Mummy Ga Ga here for their thoughts before I make the hard split official, but the other ASAS regulars are free to chime in.
An edit moved Infinite's character folder
from Characters.Sonic The Hedgehog Modern Era Antagonists 2 to Characters.Sonic The Hedgehog Eggman Empire, which is triggering the too-long warning for the Eggman Empire page.
Revert to putting Infinite on Modern Era Antagonists 2?
Yes.
Any thoughts on my suggestion
A general comedy category is a start, especially if you can get more than 10k characters out of it. Maybe for the time being have the unsorted with a separate page much like we have literature (and I do believe it should be worked on). Also there's too many folders that a little consolidation can work where possible.

About the unsorted section, that was something I was suggesting at my original original suggestion
! I agree with splitting unsorted films, since the section has over 42K characters.
As I said here
, I've done the hard split, so the Nominators and Lore Characters pages no longer have the banner. However, the Tributes page still has it, but I've at least moved Power's Art School to the LC page as per here
. I'll see if I can get to deleting outdated/irrelevant folders of my tributes to save space in the meantime.
Characters.Chainsaw Man Devils And Fiends has hit the too long warning. I think it would be good to create a page for the Primal Fears since their section currently totals at 101,431 bytes.

— any objections before I make the reversion edit?

Characters.Dandadan is getting too long, i think we should split the protags into their own page.
Characters.Dandadan Momo And Okarun
Due to unfortunate events, i will continue to exist until further notice. (also i'm fluid now)
