With the election is now in the past, and no further polls to be added, it's probably time that we considered what the best form that this article takes permanently.
The article was tagged as being long, which is a fair assessment. There's about a MB of text here (though few pictures, which means actual page load is not too bad). We could potentially split off some of the smaller sections into articles such as Constituency polling for the 2024 United Kingdom general election, though the majority of the bytes (~600k) are the national polls which is not so easy to split.
If we're honest this article is a clear (though popular) violation of WP:NOTDATABASE. Having a similar length on Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election is pretty much inevitable if the next parliment lasts 4 or 5 years. The long-term solution would be somehow have the data hosted elsewhere (Wikidata?) and just summarised here.
One thing we don't have here at the moment is any prose discussion on poll performance, and how polling influenced the campaign.
Anyhow, no need to rush to any changes now - plenty of time to discuss. LukeSurl t c 14:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Dang this this the longest article on Wikipedia. Didn't think it'd be on something so recent, but that's neat. I've gotta go sit down now because I just read this entire article. From Rushpedia, the free stupid goofball (talk) 19:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
