Alexey_Skripnik added a comment to T270140: Release dataset on top search engine referrers by country, device, and language.

@Isaac, thank you for making this dataset possible! I am conducting some research about Yandex presence in Belarus and found this Turnilo tool based on the dataset you released: Search Engine Referrals

I updated the extension documentation to make it clearer how to allow or disallow redirects: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Newest_Pages

Alexey_Skripnik added a comment to T275319: Change $wgMaxArticleSize limit from byte-based to character-based.

Because heavy pages load worse for readers, especially on poorer connections. That’s basics of web development.

From usability standpoint, it’s better to have a page that doesn’t weigh 2.3 Mb just in HTML.

For the record, I don't think that the need to be able to build even longer pages justifies fulfilling this request. They can always split the pages, which is better for readability and usability.

In comparison, this is some random short page from Russian Wikisource: https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%95%D0%AD%D0%91%D0%95/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%86

Alexey_Skripnik added a comment to T308893: Increase $wgMaxArticleSize to 4MB for ruwikisource.

This is one of the longest pages in Russian Wikisource: https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B0%D1%81_%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BD,_%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%87%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD_%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0_(%D0%A2%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF)/%D0%94%D0%9E

Another consideration: the alternative to a page with 4 MB of text is not a page with 1 MB of text, but rather 4 pages with 1 MB of text each.

More memory consumed everytime it is interacted with by the software.

User Vladis13 did a great job importing some public domain texts in Russian Wikisource. He also prepared a folder with texts that were too big: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/QjFXyEiY0t7Qvw

Ok, I didn't know that for Wikimedia wikis you use different kind of settings. But I assume it works like that: there is a variable $wgMaxArticleSize that you can tweak for each individual project, right?

Oh wow, this was open for more than a year ago. Why it hasn't been done yet?
