(Copy/pasting post to \\\"Big page lock\\\" thread at Special Efforts.)
Having finally completed my sweep of uses of \\\"this troper\\\" and \\\"why isn\\\'t song X on this page yet!?\\\" on the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic subpages, as well as most extraneous code in Youtube links, I must admit this entry on the \\\"[=400,000+=] characters\\\" list leapt out at me. One thing I do notice about the page - and this won\\\'t save [=50,000=] characters, but I\\\'ll mention it anyway to clear up a question I\\\'ve had for a while - is that almost every song title on the page is rendered in italics, whereas the convention I\\\'ve read elsewhere is that \\\'\\\'album\\\'\\\' titles are italicised (eg, \\\'\\\'Who\\\'s Next\\\'\\\') and song titles are put in quotes (eg, \\\"Won\\\'t Get Fooled Again\\\"). Although even if it did save [=50,000=] characters (which, again, it won\\\'t, there aren\\\'t [=25,000=] titles on the page), it would only be a temporary fix.
That aside, the page pretty much can\\\'t be trimmed down without being split - most of the examples are already borderline {{Zero Context Example}}s along the lines of \\\"Her cover of (Youtube link)\\\", and I checked that the Youtube links have been shorn of all extraneous code (if that even contributes to the character count). Even removing what cruft may still linger either won\\\'t save [=50,000=] characters or will only be a temporary fix.
The obvious thing might be to split it by performer... except there are \\\'\\\'forty-one\\\'\\\' subfolders (36 for individuals, four for other categories, and one for unsorted examples), and some only have one example in them. Perhaps there are ways to group multiple subfolders on subpages, but I don\\\'t know enough about the genre to know how that might be done (are some of the performers from the same creators, for example?). Alternatively, perhaps only the largest folders can be moved over to individual subpages - seems to have worked for a number of other oversized pages so far (AwesomeBosses.VideoGames - or [=Awesome.VideoGameBosses=] as it once was - leaps to mind) - and others can be moved to new subpages as their folders grow.
