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.

Explanation of what triggers the too-long page warning
Edited by kory on Dec 18th 2023 at 2:36:21 AM
@4399: I believe a red warning is triggered when the actual character counter, as opposed to the HTML, hits 500k and appears next to the character counter itself. Red warnings should be very rare unless a page hasn't been touched by anyone not ignoring the blue warning while being obliviously added to all the while (or if someone's spamming a bunch of unformatted text).
For the record, I went ahead and created the Memes.Sonic The Hedgehog Video Games page, as 24 hours have passed and no one gave any objections to creating such a page.
BTW, please call me Jake.Characters.Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation is 301,422 characters long and showing the warning. My suggested split would be to give William Birkin and Brian Irons their own character pages.
For Quotes.Fire Emblem Heroes, which is on the list:
I'm thinking of splitting the page into two: one for the summon quotes, and one for the confessions. Will this be doable?
Characters.Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Spirits has the too long warning. Perhaps the Disaster Curses can have their own page since it's the largest section at 161,985 bytes.
SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMYThe To Be Hero X character page got the blue warning with 252,376 characters. I suggest a split where the Top 10 main heroes get a separate page.
Decided to make sandboxes for my suggested split for Characters.Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation, as I haven't seen any objections.

Characters.Pokemon Generation I Bulbasaur To Parasect is giving the warning.
Since there's 18 folders I'm leaning towards splitting it into Characters.Pokemon Generation I Bulbasaur To Arbok and Characters.Pokemon Generation I Pichu To Parasect.
Alternatively, we do Characters.Pokemon Generation I Bulbasaur To Pidgeot, Characters.Pokemon Generation I Rattata To Nidoking, and Characters.Pokemon Generation I Cleffa To Parasect, six folders to each page.

Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.The Characters.Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation split has now been done.
I'd rather we split all the Kanto starters on their own page than just give a single page for just the Charmander line. The Kanto starters are often grouped together and the group as a whole does get preferential treatment by Gamefreak, so it makes sense to have a dedicated page for them.
I know our general rule is to prioritize splitting off groups before individual characters, and giving the Kanto starters their own page would be a decent way of doing that.
For CelebrityParadox.Marvel Cinematic Universe, I made a suggestion for splitting them into 2 separate pages. 1 for the Infinity Saga and the other for the Multiverse Sage. Can we do that?
Character Perception Evolution has the warning.
That's what I was thinking, too. Done.

The Anime folder is easily the biggest one, so moving it to its own subpage would fix that.

Length-wise, the closest to MisattributedSong.A To M's middle point is between A-F and G-M.

Either alphabetically folders, or maybe pull out the Franchises so they aren't duplicating themselves?
