Splitting into multiple pages

Not sure where to ask this but here seems fitting. I was wondering about making each section of this page (Units, Effects...) have its own page and put them all under a "CDK Reference" category. I'm suggesting this because with every update this page gets bigger and so do the load times, and it's becoming noticeable on slower networks, as well as because I intend to add a bunch more stuff. I understand I could do this process myself and wait for a moderator to approve or deny the changes but I'm still inexperienced with wikis so I want to make sure I fully understand the consequences of such a reorganization first.

I know one of the problems caused by such a reorganization would be that all the links pointing to this page would turn dead, but I recall there's a feature that lets you find specific dead links? Worst case scenario, I remember the few pages that have links pointing to this page so it should be easy to update. --Pwa_ (talk) 15:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
