Subpages have backward compatibility. You can transclude them all in one big page.
Functionality has priority. RFAR is a place only people with high speed connections can edit. People with low speed coonnections will frequently edit conflict.
AfD works fine with sub pages.
Also what I suggested was breaking RFAR into two pages only (for now). watching two pages shouldn't be that hard...

too long ago. The attempt failed only because arbitrators and clerks did not like it - or so I am told. For seeking to change it despite the arbitrator/clerk apathy towards people who have a very slow internet connection my initiative was labeled as trolling.
If I am not even allowed to change/criticize the technical aspects of arbcom and if such an attempt hits an iron curtain I wonder how useful arbcom is on actual controversies.

Actually, it wasn't just the clerks and the arbitrators who disliked it; many people who were trying to follow the cases involved found it difficult, as well, and it became another backwater page that few in the community were watching. While I do sympathise with the issue of slow loading (AN and ANI are worse, even on high-speed and T-1 connections), I think it's probably more important that the cases continue to be as highly visible as possible in the hopes that they might get some response.
