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

I am willing to take care of some parts of Small Reference Pools. The article has other issues like Example Indentation, Zero Context Example (or Insufficient Context), Natter and so on. I guess it will take some time.
EDIT: I am unsure how to split up some folders into sub-pages. For example, there are several sections that cover geography (currently listed under Cities, Geography and Other). Should that be in Real Life sub-page or Geography sub-page?
EDIT: I started to sort out Earn Your Happy Ending. Has about six sub-pages now. More will follow.
Edit:
- Earn Your Happy Ending is mostly done.
- Genre Deconstruction is finished.
- Dueling Shows is finished.

I wonder if I can manage to split the two Animorphs pages without getting spoilered.
Edit: Got Literature.Animorphs.
Got Characters.Animorphs too, except I cannot make the page index the new sub-character sheet Characters.Animorphs Animorphs. Can anyone tell what's wrong with it?

I now go by Graf von Tirol.Does Lightning Bruiser need a split? It's having folder size issues.
Also, the link in the OP is broken.

TV Tropes' very wikibot
The Character pages for the Command And Conquer Red Alert Series and Lost are also split.
Get rid of the walled gardenCritical Existence Failure doesn't need splitting, but does now have borked folders. Can someone fix it on behalf of sleepy Tel?
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Not before I have finished Criminal Minds
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI split Hypocritical Humor. It's been over a month since the last page report. Can we get a new one?
