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.
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

Re: Octopath, I separated the pages into supporting characters and antagonists.
She/Her | Currently cleaning N/ADouble post but The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is now showing the warning.

Horror Films is triggering the warning.
Maybe an alphabetical split?

That One Achievement has the banner again.

- First-Person Shooter: Halo seems pretty big?
Could pull out the Left 4 Dead series.
World of Warcraft probably is the biggest, though.
Ratchet & Clank
The Legend of Heroes: Trails

Useful Note
Or a split by time period.
I support that
Regarding That One Achievement, World of Warcraft is the biggest game/franchise split when I copy it to my sandbox at 152 KB. That sounds like a lot, but if I download my sandbox when it contains a single word, it's 140 KB, meaning WOW only accounts for 12 KB worth of HTML. (That One Achievement itself is 709 KB, which does include some extraneous content that doesn't count towards triggering the notice that my sandbox doesn't have, but which nonetheless suggests we'd need to split at least five games/franchises to stop it triggering the notice.) Are we at the point where we should split whole genres (assuming we shouldn't have been doing so all along)?

I say whole genres
Role-Playing Game seems like the longest but I'm not sure
I'd say we split by genre when there's no game that's long enough for its own page.
If the games are big enough, why not split them out?

Idk if there's any one game yet still long enough, but I haven't gone over with a comb

We could split by franchise, developer, or publisher.

Kirby is awesome.

Split by mooks vs. Bosses or by debut game?

Reposting from abandoned sandbox thread:
Sandbox.LGBT Representation In Media and Sandbox.X Men Title Team are both on Overly Long Pages. Do we still need them?
Idk about the x men one but the lgbt rep one can be snipped
Characters.Yakuza 5 is triggering the warning.
