Hi,

Indeed, ikiwiki does not support pagination

AFAICT there’s never been any pagination. But before commit:2d10154ee8f45b6765c6a4619fe8b4ecab5eb869 we were displaying all blog posts. This would not scale anymore nowadays.

We could do this:

1. Create a new page, that lists only older blog posts, that are not included in /news (we can do this with the skip= parameter of the inline directive). I think that page should only contain links to these blog posts instead of inlining their content. Alternatively, that page could list all blog posts. I have no strong opinion about which is best.
2. Link to that new page from /news.

How does it sound?

Now, this issue has been here since 6.5 years, so I suspect that very few people need to access this information, and the same very few people can find it in Git.
So I would happily review a branch that implements a solution (with a small enough impact on build performance) but I’m afraid I can’t justify spending more time on it myself any time soon. If I missed important use cases, please let me know :)
