Length of wishlists
Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:09 am
These are the lengths in bytes of the various wishlists after my annual tidy-up (with exception of T-Z, which I'll get to tomorrow):
A-B: 44,505
C-F: 34,608
G-K: 46,045
L-P: 56,612
Q-S: 48,447
T-Z: 28,866
Only T-Z is below the “safe” 32 KB limit advised when one goes to edit the pages; C-F and G-K were about 10K heavier before several laundry lists-worth of worklist were exported to other pages. As a result, there are links to other pages for the bulk of entries for Bottesini, Donizetti, Gottschalk, Grainger, J.P. Kellner, Locke, etc., and I was very tempted to do the same for Liszt, except that I knew that there would be hell to pay from the Liszt afficionados. (Durante, J.K. Kerll, Kirnberger and several others are very lucky not to have had similar cullings.)
Given that some of these pages have contents lists that are a hundred items long, is there a case for splitting some of these into slightly finer divisions?
Is it acceptable for any one composer’s wishlist to exceed about one screenful (at about 1200 pixels vertical and default resolution)?
(Discuss. I’m happy to implement a subdivision of these pages, and fix all of the various affected links, if desired.)
Cheers PML
