"Is this subpage too short?": Re-merging Project

Go To

A recurring question: When is it long enough to split off a subpage?

While answers varynote , we can usually tell when a subpage is not long enough. Bring any candidates here and we can discuss whether or not they were properly split off and agree on whether or not to merge them back.

Here's one to start off discussion: Pun-Based Title.Webcomics. Merge back to Pun-Based Title?

Honestly I think all of them can be merged.

~Auchical, the Don't You Dare Pity Me! subpages you mentioned are indeed short. Easy merge

[up][up] I would do one page for "Saw: Law Enforcement" and another by combinining the other characters from the films like you said.

[up]Yeah, compared to the Video Games page next to it, it’s far smaller and could easily be merged back.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

WhatIf.Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi was recently made due to VideoGame.Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi getting a long bulleted list under its What If? section thanks to Sparking Zero (though the first three games have their own folders with only a single sentence each) that are also walls of spoilered out text. However, it could still support it as the video game page has 105,680 bytes, while the What if page is 22,886 bytes.

Then I thought of another solution, which was to consolidate every single Dragon Ball What if into the page and redirect WhatIf.Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi to a potential WhatIf.Dragon Ball page.

Thoughts?

Are all of Femme Fatale subpages short to justify their own ?

[up] Their too short. Merge them back to the main page.

[up][up]i agree it can be merged.


Any thoughts on this idea — turning WhatIf.Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi to redirect to a potential WhatIf.Dragon Ball page since it's short at like 23K bytes?

TangledFamilyTree.Marvel Universe is what, 7000 bytes? It can go back, easily. I wouldn't be averse to merging TangledFamilyTree.X Men, either.

Also, thoughts on the Urban Legend of Zelda subpages? I'm not hugely concerned about Pokémon (41,137), Role-Playing Game (39,496) or Final Fantasy (25,262), but the rest of them all seem a little undersized:

UrbanLegendOfZelda.Wide Open Sandbox (19,848)

UrbanLegendOfZelda.The Legend Of Zelda (15,880)

UrbanLegendOfZelda.Super Mario Bros (15,852)

UrbanLegendOfZelda.Undertale (12,542)

UrbanLegendOfZelda.Sonic The Hedgehog (7,618)

UrbanLegendOfZelda.The Binding Of Isaac (3,448)

The main page, for reference, has 193,840 bytes. If a split is necessary anyway (and it might be, it's a large-ish page) most of the individual game pages are probably better off merged into larger genre subpages. There's probably a decent case for bundling the Mario and Sonic examples together in a general Platform Games subpage, for instance, alongside the rest of the current Platformer folder.

Nat19's Forgotten Realms is related to Nat19, but I don’t understand why the tropes on that page aren’t on the main one, besides needless separation. Would it be cool to merge the former page with the latter?

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

MidSeasonTwist.Friends and MidSeasonTwist.Supernatural are extremely short, and should probably be merged back into MidSeasonTwist.Live Action TV.
