TASK DESCRIPTION There is an upper limit to the size of a page. Archive pages can be too large for it. The value is available in the siteinfo API: 'maxarticlesize'. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxArticleSize https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general%7Cnamespaces%7Cnamespacealiases%7Cstatistics When an archive page reaches maxarticlesize, the bot should stop trying to add content to it and find somewhere else to archive to. For size-based archiving, it will be straightforward. You can just cap the max size parameter with maxarticlesize. For time-based archiving, it does not seem so simple. One possibility might be to create a new archive page by adding a suffix (e.g. 2020 → 2020_(2)), which will make implementation a bit complicated, and the index page of archives will be messed up. There might be a better way to handle this. Any thoughts?
