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

Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!TearJerker.Anime is going to prove to be a multi-phase project for me. I managed to clear out enough to get the page below the 400k threshold with a little bit of breathing room for now. I will continue to trim it down as I can.

Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!So can we as editors create new namespaces, or do we have to ask Fast Eddie to do that? I want to help with this, but don't know if just adding links like
will do it without some sort of go ahead from on high.

Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.
We can do it for this project. Fast Eddie has basically asked us to at least for the pages in question.
In that case, the Global Guardians PBEM Universe is done.
Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.I'll split Characters.TheKingOfFightersTheOrochiSaga.
edit: The page has been split into "below the threshold" chunks for now. I have put notes on the discussion page for fans of the series to weigh in on how they feel the pages would best be further split. I will be keeping an eye on these to make sure they don't become a problem again in the meantime.

Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!I've dealt with WMG.Time Lord. Not sure how to deal with the "Other" though. Mostly it is just unsorted stuff mixed with total bollocks.
