Forum:Size of page

Does anyone know the maximum size of a wiki page?


 * There's no real answer to that question. The only stipulation is that the larger the page is (text, images, and templates), the longer it will take to load. If there is too much, the page will not load and/or it won't let you edit. I rarely see such an occurrence, so I don't believe its something you'll run into. -- 15:20, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * We traditionally request that pages are kept below 32kb to avoid page load issues for users with slow computers. Usually if you edit a page that is too long, you will see a warning message alerting you that you are editing a page that is past that 32kb limit. However, that's just a courtesy measure for readership and not a set limit (or else I'd be in trouble myself...need to get better at making shorter pages :P) --daNASCAT 20:29, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * The 32KB warning was removed at one point in time, I forget which version of MediaWiki, but there's no longer a warning to warn you about large page size. -- 21:00, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Does it really mean there is no limit at all, that I could make of page megabytes long, or with hundreds of thousands or words in it? Silvan od Montreal 18:32, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
