WARNING: This page is .. kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections.
The specific browsers that have problems with long pages are listed at Wikipedia:Browser page size limits, along with advice on suggested upgrade paths if you have one of these browsers.
A rule of thumb for splitting a page into smaller pieces, and combining small pages:
You can set your preferences to make links to pages smaller than a certain size appear in a different colour.
"Size" in this context means the size of the source text seen in the edit box. Note that for a table this is considerably more than the text itself. For example, a table line
Monaco 16000 2 31987
may be coded as
<tr><td>[[Monaco]]</td><td align=right>16000</td> <td align=right>2</td><td align=right>31987</td></tr>
If a table gets too large and splitting up is not desirable one may choose to sacrifice formatting details like "align=right", or optional tags like </td> or </tr> . Thus it will be reduced to:
<tr><td>[[Monaco]]<td>16000 <td>2<td>31987
There have been proposals to support tables better, with a wiki-like syntax, see m:Wiki markup tables; this would also reduce the size of the source text. Also proposed is supporting images so they need less markup to be floated - see meta:image pages.
Large pages: see Special:Longpages
Please split these up according to the rules above.
