Anybody also has issues with Wiki being extremely slow today?
I am writing a lot of documentation for my upcoming mod and suddenly Wiki started slowing down to the point of extreme frustration
EDIT: Currently I can't even save changes to my pages on Wiki:

It seems that the wiki is slow since yesterday and long pages run into a timeout.Error 503 Request timedout

Monarchy - Europa Universalis 4 Wiki
I think it would be good if we split up the monarchy page unless we can decrease the load time considerably in another way.
I would suggest the following split:
- The basic mechanics + the navicon tables for all the reforms can stay on the main monarchy page
- revolutionary reforms can be moved to https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Revolution#Government_reforms where they are already transcluded. Then they can be excluded from the pages for the other monarchy reforms
- generic reforms which are available to (almost) all non-revolutionary monarchies
- non-generic tier 1 reforms (this might already be too much for one page)
- non-generic reforms on other tiers
For all the government reform pages (not just monarchy), I think it would be useful to do "something" to make it obvious which tier each reform belongs to.
--- Eg1: Have significantly larger and/or more obvious dividers between government reform tiers.
--- Eg2: Add a "tier number" column to the table.
Because, if you're searching the page for some effect, and you find something in the middle, it can be surprisingly difficult to figure out which tier this reform belongs to.
---
I agree that you could significantly decrease the bloat and increase usability by creating separate pages to show the available reforms if you are a revolutionary vs normal monarchy. However, I think this concept would be just as useful for every other type of government which has a semi-unique path with lots of exclusive reforms:
--- Monarchy: Normal & Rev
--- Republic: Normal & Rev & Pirate
--- Theocracy: Normal & Monastic Order
--- Tribe: Normal & Horde
--- Total: 9 pages
(I don't think merchant republics and new world tribes have any particularly special reforms, other than the first one, so I don't think it's worth splitting them off. And there might be other semi-unique paths I have forgotten.)
---
It would still be useful to have a long searchable list showing all possible reforms (split into monarchy/republic/theocracy/tribe), to help with theorycrafting a run. (Eg: If you wanted to maximise passive defensiveness - ie. fort defence, attrition for enemies, movement speed - what are the best tags and governments to pick?) However, these lists do NOT need to be on the main page visible to all users.
Maybe these semi-hidden full lists could be a kind of "master list" - ie. all the sub-lists are partial transclusions of the relevant "master list"? (This would probably help with future maintenance, as the devs add even more reforms.)
I think it would be useful to add the tier number to the header. And maybe I can make the header sticky so that it is always visible at the top of the browser window even if you scroll further down in the table.
Splitting up the pages will already help with the problem, because by far the biggest section are the special tier 1 reforms which will be on their own page after the split. Most tiers only have a few generic / non-generic reforms so their header will be easier to find. And they would be bigger, because they would be top-level headings if the page is just about the reform tiers.
That's a good idea. Some of the other pages also take a long time to load and would benefit from this
The problem is that such a page would be too big for the wiki just like the current monarchy page, unless you do some measures to reduce the server-side rendering time(e.g. replace all icon templates with direct file references or remove the icons altogether), but then you have two different versions of the reforms which is difficult to keep in sync(e.g. somebody fixes an error in one place, but doesn't fix it in the other place).
I think that it would be more helpful for theorycrafting if the pages for all the modifiers show complete lists of their sources. I made an attempt at that in my sandbox: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/User:Grotaclas/Modifier_tables . But I think they are missing modifiers which are added by clicking a button in a government mechanic
I created a guide for the achievement "Spaghetti Western", but it's under the title "Guide: Spaghetti Western" instead of just the achievement. Would someone kindly move it to that title? Additionally, I would appreciate it if it was added to the little achievement guide index. Thank you!
