Surely that would be even less reason to create a separate character page? If they don't even amount to 40,000 bytes all put together, then they must be pretty small character entries, right?

Since this query doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention, I thought perhaps a specific example might be worth providing. I was thinking of cases like Characters.Minecraft The End — there are multiple folders, but the page as a whole is still very short and I'm not certain it really warrants being split off by itself.

I think that we should prefer multi-character pages unless they become too long.

^I'm afraid I don't entirely understand what you're saying. Could you elaborate?

It doesn't warrant being split off by itself. Keep it to one page unless the page is too long.

All right, so what should be done? Should the page be merged back with the general character page?

Assuming it doesn't make the general character page too long, yes.

^It won't. Most of the other sections of the character page were also moved to (longer) independent pages a while ago, so the current page is rather short.

In this case, if there are no objections, I'll move the content back in a little while and cite this thread as the reason why.
