Spawn?

This article has grown rather large, nearing the 100k suggested limit. The section on offshore could be spawned into a new article. The offshore and onshore lists are also articles on their own, and could be limited to perhaps 10 entries here. TGCP (talk) 11:06, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it is getting rather unwieldy. Perhaps Offshore wind power in the United Kingdom? It seems List of offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom and List of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom already exist but the info from this article could be merged into them if it is not already present. As you say, we probably only need the 10 largest offshore and onshore on this page. Del♉sion23 (talk) 18:27, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, a split would help improve readability and manageability of the article. Tables limited to 10 lines would help too. regards, Johnfos (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, this is incredibly often misunderstood. The size of the raw file has *nothing* to do with splitting; that gets bumped up by all the wiki annotation without affecting the readability much at all. It's actually nowhere near the relevant 100k limit, and it already has subarticles anyway. The stats for the article currently are: 28 kB (4730 words). You're supposed to consider a split at around 50kB of text/10,000 words, we're about half that.GliderMaven (talk) 21:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Let's not get too hung up with article length; it is just one factor to be considered when splitting (see WP:Split). Johnfos (talk) 08:34, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
