[Wikitech-l] Re: Is there still a maximum page size in effect?

Here is what I experimented with: * for post-parser size (which would have been my first guess given that for templates we count the *Post‐expand include size*) I just measured the size of the .mw-parser-output div. For this, I took the output of [1] (which is a mix of included and substituded templates and is displayed just fine) and it was well over 8MiB. * for pre-parser size, I took the same page [1], added some more templates and started saving while substituting them (e.g. I have 1.5 MiB of text and a few thousand templates which I sustitute in one go). One version which goes over the 2MiB limit is [2]. Now, because of the way those templates are written (pretty verbose and with a lot of whitespace) the difference between the template and the result of the substitution is small, so the page size is just over the limit, but one can imagine a template expanding near 2MiB the limit a couple of times could take a page to ~4MiB without much effort. I understand from your message that these are bugs and the limit is still enforced. However, I still don't understand the logic in having a limit for wikitext in pages, but a limit for post-expand (if I understand correctly, that is after they go through the parser) in templates. Why not have a single limit set to something like 8-12-16 MiB and counted after all the processing is done?
