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]]).
