too-long page repair

Go To

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.

     Eddie's old post 
Looks like we have a big page lock coming. Big in the sense of many pages and big in the sense that the pages to be locked are too big.

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

I’m creating AmericanFilms.H To J and AmericanFilms.K To M to replace AmericanFilms.H To M since it’s too long. Can that page be cutlisted once the other two pages are created?

Edit: The two pages I mentioned have now been created.

Series.Brooklyn Nine Nine is getting the warning at 259,396 characters — first thought is to move the tropes that are exclusive to one episode to their respective recap pages, but also potentially split the page in half?

Teen Titans (2003): Core Team is giving the warning again. The last time this happened, Terra was split off from the page.

Maybe split between male and female members?

Robin's section is 41075 characters, which does fit the minimum for a character-specific page. Or we could do male members (Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy) and female members (Starfire, Raven, Terra)

EDIT: Section counts:

  • Robin: 41075 characters
  • Starfire: 44928 characters
  • Raven: 44139 characters
  • Beast Boy: 46180 characters
  • Cyborg: 41807 characters

So if we were to split any characters, it should be Beast Boy getting his own page. But theoretically all of them could have their own CSPs. According to the To-Do List making main characters have their own individual pages is a wiki goal now.

EDIT 2: Even Terra could have her own page, she's showing ~40k characters.
