User talk:Skierpage

Hi, the semantic mediawiki docs recommend that type:page] not be used for properties "If the possible values of the property are a large set". We currently have 10 or 20 thousand [genealogy] person articles and will likely have hundreds of thousands of articles when we start bulk upload of genealogical data files.


 * Here is an prototype SMW article: George Geer.


 * So what I am asking is, are there any documents you can point me to that discuss the performance considerations, or is a couple hundred thousand no problem? When does it get to be a problem?  Does it become an issue when we get into the 10s of millions?   (Genealogy info is ummm immense by Wikipedia standards).


 * I really don't want to get to 50K articles and find out I have to refactor the entire site because the wikia servers are melting.... - ~  Ph l o x  20:35, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
