Question about wikipedia data STORAGE FORMAT Hi let me ask a question Since I am a little busy and I am not English langauge native my ssentences could be poor And I would be glad if you answer my question immediately since I have to leave a little later When I edited a page I usually did line break after about 60 or so characters You could see how I edit by editing your talk page this page As you know by the tag p of the HTML langauge the wiki did aggregate the line broken sentences into a full paragraph automatically I thought that diff is the main block of the storage mechanism of wiki as wiki does not have to save all the full page Wiki needed to save only diff of the pages I think so Then by making line break as I am doing now does my method make the diff data of wiki SMALL said that Some editors find that adding manual line breaks improves the diff function In other words is making many line breaks of a paragraph is more efficient to reduce the database size of wiki Thanks
