Pub guide wiki part 1 almost full

[sherman]

As the title says the pub guide wiki is almost full is there a way to extend how many characters there is allowed in the wiki?

Currently on the post a reply page if you try to enter any text the box turns red as soon as you click on it and a counter at the top left says there are about 215 characters left.

We have a thread running about it in the FD&R section

and here is the problem thread

There is no way to extend the number of characters in a wiki, the solution is to split it up into several sub-wikis. This has the advantage of making it easier to edit/search/read as well.

(or alternatively you could just move a few of the counties over to part 2, freeing up some space in part one, but that will only ever be a short term solution)

Ah ok there's another job for you to add to the list then.

It is a hard and fast limit to the amount of data which can be sorted in a single post. It's not going on the list because there is no feasible way of removing this limit.

That being said, once a wiki reaches ~65000 characters it is probably time to split it for usability reasons anyway.

I was meaning for you to sort it out in to the different parts or create some more parts.

It'll get done much quicker if one of you chaps does it!
