Wikipedia also splits information if the article's subject becomes too lengthy to handle and becomes less reader friendly. Example, there use to be a lot of articles about shows that displayed Episode, Character, and Production listings on one page, when it got to a point that these shows had many seasons there were talks of splitting the content while keeping the primary article relatively intact with the basic information about the show.

To say Hatsune Miku's page was comfortable to scroll through (let alone edit) is laughable. There weren't comments about splitting pages but people have commented on the length of pages and also, while some contributors were helpful, trying to navigate to edit a certain section was a chore. So that was when Marketing and Music section became a template instead, but it was a temporary fix. And then there was the voice bank sections to deal with, each of which have their own information and sources including demos and history. We also have to consider people who don't use desktop or laptop computers, I've loaded this wiki on my template and long pages (primarily Crypton related) were a problem. The Wiki's front page is another matter but can be bypassed.

So using Wikipedia as an example isn't working because (as stated) they resort to page splitting to keep content in check and make it easier to maintain, and you also have to jiggle between pages to find the information you want. It is now common practice for Wikia wikis to create different articles relating to a character as it is the logical thing to do when that character has a lot of history. Compared to other wikis we were far behind on this and should have done it sooner. We have placed links at the top of the page, the middle and even the bottom for navigation purposes. For short pages, I can understand why page splitting seems odd, but having each page become drastically different from another is noticeable. Then you have VO claiming favoritism if it wasn't done.
