What's with the various [[:Category:Language|languages]] here?  An "international" feel is entirely appropriate.  And the articles about non-[[:Category:English|English]] wikis would ideally be in both English and the native language.  But why are some misc articles also in [[:Category:French|French]]?  No harm done, but if every article were in a dozen different languages things would get rather confusing...  I've seen no discussion here about the theory or ideal goals.  At the moment, we are mainly protected by the level of contribution being so low that we are struggling to function in one language -- no need to worry about multi-lingual chaos. --[[Special:Contributions/69.87.202.225|69.87.202.225]] 11:00, 17 February 2007 (PST)

Generally no longer than 12,000 characters [[Special:LongPages|seems to be the norm]]. Most of the pages with several thousand characters of content have a special reason for being that long, such as consisting of multiple translations of the same content. Even if you get away with having a somewhat lengthy page for awhile, there is always a possibility that eventually someone will ask that it be pared down. Your best bet is to keep pages to short blurbs (a few paragraphs at most) and have external links going to either an [[about page]] (in the case of a wiki) or a [[user page]] (in the case of a [[:Category:Wiki People|wiki person]]).
