- Huh. Good to know. On other wikis, I had followed the logic of "The smaller the filesize is, the faster a wiki page would load", and I had utilised it with partial success on The Sims Wikia. But I do acknowledge that it'd be a problem on self-hosted wikis indeed, so I appreciate the tip. DandelionSprout (talk) 02:43, April 7, 2024 (EDT)
