Talk:List of Leigh Leopards players

Page length
This page is 565,663 bytes long, which is far too big. What's the best way to subdivide it? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:27, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * There are 877 references on this page, my intention was always to transfer the player related references to the specific player page (if/when available), this would reduce the article size to below 300,000 bytes. DynamoDegsy (talk) 11:56, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That's commendable but the vast majority of these entries won't have Wikipedia articles, so you would be lucky to reduce the article size by 50,000 by doing that. Would it be practical to remove the individual references altogether, or unnecessary columns? Otherwise a split might be possible but there's also a big risk of this article being deleted.

 * Individual references removed, article reduced to 278,938 bytes. DynamoDegsy (talk) 13:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That's not an acceptable solution. We now have a (still over-long) article with hundreds of uncited claims. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:47, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Each individual is named in heritage number sequence order here and alphabetically by surname with statistics here, what we have lost is the mini-biographies from leighrl.co.uk, and the individual statistics at any other clubs they may have played for from rugbyleagueproject.org.
