Line 6:
::: I too don't like splitting up long pages unless absolutely necessary. What is too long might depend on a lot of factors, but I would think that a page that is still usable on, say, a netbook should be OK - it is new, but low-powered hardware. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
:: I think the 32k limit was for IE6 and earlier. I don't know how many contributors use that ancient POS, but surely not too many? Programmers tend to use more recent browsers that aren't so pathetic. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 08:20, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
: (Warning: Pointless general observations ahead) Some of those notices are driven by resource availability, and when pages exceed the final size limits, things get ''nasty''. My first attempt at building the system that's now satisfied by the "tasks unimplemented in language X" pages was to build a full table cross-referencing languages and tasks. MediaWiki OOM'd when I tried uploading the resulting table wikicode, which weighed in at over 1MB.
