"fatal error" message

Yeah, I kept getting this "fatal error" message when working on the "Human Sacrifice - Present-day Occurrence" article...(I assumed because it was insanely long) where whenever I would add a new paragraph or whatever, it would say "fatal error" instead of going to the new completed saved page...but when I would work my way back to check, the new edit, with the new (paragraph or whatever) would in fact be present...
But the "fatal error" message made me nervous, that something bad was about to happen, so I stopped adding to the article, thinking it might be God's way of telling me to halt at a random stopping point...
But now I just wonder, is the fatal error message something I should in fact be afraid of? Will something untoward happen if I keep adding to the piece?

The page is huge; I get the same error when I go into it and try to save an edit.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2742072 bytes) in /home/abovetopsecret/wiki/includes/Sanitizer.php on line 496

I think the page needs to be broken up into "Human Sacrifice: Present-Day Occurrence" by continent, maybe. All the info would still be there but in much smaller increments. It would eliminate the error, allow the page to be edited, and make it easier to read, understand, and add to in the future.

I have also this mesage too, a fatal error.

I suggest that u shud check your browser settings and enable flast controls. this is a common reason for this fatal error thing. Also check ur \dns and proxy settings
