The problem edit

On pages that have too much of a single property (ex. demonym (P1549)), loading takes forever, and it is impossible to view the item.

The solution edit

I think that there should be a collapse button on every property, and if there are 5 or more items for 1 property, it should autocollapse. This can be turned off in your user settings.

I don't think there any reason to have a AfC about this topic given that it's about primarily about code and not about policy decisions. Nothing prevents anyone from writing a gadget that does this function and when it comes to making feature requests a phabricator ticket is a better way.

Thanks @ChristianK1:
