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...

On a different note I was trying to seek restructuring RfAR page. As in
technically chipping out appeal part of the page (which now occupies a
greater amount of space than actual requests). I am told was attempted
not
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.
