I think the page is fine right now. Everything is neat and folderized, so you can easily find whoever you're looking for without having to scroll too much.
Sadly, it kinda is a personal-rule-of-thumb thing up until you get the too-long page warning. I don't believe we have more specific guidelines on the how than How to Split a Page.
There does exist at least one objective standard of "too long"; the wiki software will give a warning when editing pages over a certain size — I think 500k bytes? — because there's a crash bug that happens shortly after that point.
... This page is obviously not there yet, of course.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
alright thanks for the input.
is there any built-in way to find a page's file size or is it only copypasta the raw code into notepad and save as .txt like i did in OP?

The warning will show itself.
Here, try to edit this pile of mess for example.
on the discussion page for hololive Japan someone suggested splitting it as it was getting "too long". problem is, it seems like whenever i see "too long" being thrown around, the reason is subjective. my personal rule of thumb is if i feel like i'm hitting Page Down too much (especially for headers) and i feel like this isn't the sort of thing that should have "personal rules of thumb" in the first place. also, i've actually seen pages go in the opposite direction in terms of page length (e.g. Girls' Frontline and its subpages going from category folders to character folders)
cursory search of ATT got me this
and this
which tell me character count and/or file size suggest when something should be split, is this how it's generally decided upon? (for the record, the hololive page is 144,914 characters long and 144.9 kilobytes right now)
edit: some clarification
