Line 4:
: I agree that there are practical limits, but I disagree that we've reached them, and e.g. [[Playing Cards/E]] (which is one of the examples [[User:Glennj]] split off) is surely not too long. Regarding “too long for ... editing”, are you referring to the automatic 32K notice Wikipedia puts up? As far as I know, we have lots of pages that long and no one's complained. I agree that length can be a technical and/or usability problem eventually, but I feel that we have not reached that point. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 22:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
::Some examples that have been separated are pretty short. Some others (like [[Arithmetic Evaluator/Ada]]) are obviously contributing a lot to a future problem. I hesitate to put a size requirement in bytes on examples that are too long since some take up a lot of space without being very large in bytes (like lots of [[Assembly]] examples). I'm not sure what the criteria could be except "it takes up too much space on the page". --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 03:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
::: 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)
