That's on accessing the cached, anonymous version of the page. Trying to access it (or any diffs) on my logged in session, the wiki returns an HTTP 500 after about 50 seconds.

As it is, a 1.6 MiB page like this seems to refuse to work in any sensible way. I think the better option would be to split the page into multiple smaller pages.

I've reverted the page to the last revision that seems to be reasonably workable. Feel free to access the previous revision (if you can) to split up the information if you wish to do so, although I'd strongly advise laying out your plans on this talk page first to avoid further friction like this incident.

Ideas on restructuring monsters

It looks like turning all the monsters into a single big wikitable didn't work too well. We'll need to pick another option in order to list all the monsters. I've thought of a few ideas listed here:

• Create a page for each symbol and put a wikitable on each of them
• Create a page for every 5 levels of monster, and then a new page for all the level 50+ monsters and put a wikitable on each of them
• Combine the ideas above, as well as any other numbers we want to sort by
• Create an offsite database and javascript viewer
• Create an offside downloadable csv or odf spreadsheet
• Create an offsite csv and javascript viewer
