bla
[edit]Hello. I noticed your subpage "bla" while looking at what articles a photograph was linked to. I must say, I am mystified and appalled.
Loading that page took over two minutes and 70 MB of data transferred, and half of the images didn't even load in the first place. The source code is nearly a megabyte by itself! Compare that to today's featured article, which loads in under a second and consists of 2 MB of data represented by 62 kB of source code.
Surely, you must know that such an enormous webpage can significantly slow a web browser down and interfere with other requests to Wikipedia. I'd opened bla in the background while browsing another article when suddenly, images stopped loading and my PC sounded like a jet airliner about to take off.
What could be the purpose of such an enormous user subpage? What good does it do to have hundreds (thousands?) of images linked? Are you even able to view that page normally?
I am not normally one to meddle in another user's pages—I barely pay any attention to the userspace anymore—but I will admit that I am tempted to wipe the page's contents, lest another fool like me blunder their way in and inadvertently hammer Wikipedia's servers with the equivalent of dozens of simultaneous requests. This feels like an unwieldy and, frankly, irresponsible use of Wikipedia's resources.
Thank you for your time in addressing this silly matter.--Orannis (talk) 16:58, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Orannis:I can't confirm the page's exact function, but it was clearly involved with my creation of lists of prehistoric life by location. That project relied heavily on semi-automatic addition, removal, and captioning of images stored in repositories in my userspace. I suspect it was a list specifically of images to exclude from those pages that would otherwise make a mess. Abyssal (talk) 00:37, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I should have suspected that it wasn't necessarily meant to be human-readable. It would seem that Wikipedia's automatic tools are far beyond what I thought they were. Thank you for indulging my curiosity.--Orannis (talk) 23:48, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
