I don't know of a fix other than to split the table and put some of it on a different Wikipedia page. This will make it impossible to sort across tables.
I recommend splitting the table by region, but having a "top 150" list which will capture the top peaks in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Sorry Isle of Man, you don't show up until 821. Put Scotland's in their own Wikipedia page, put the others in their own sections in this article, along with the top 10 of Scotland.
Another option is to split the table by island, keeping Scotland, England, and Wales in one table. Put this table in a separate Wikipedia page. Use the main "list" article for "top-200," Ireland, and Isle of Man. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 23:43, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Onetwothreeip, Britishfinance, Dave.Dunford, Rodw, and DeFacto: (interested parties - repeat editors of the page - though I think Britishfinance has stopped editing) This edit three years ago with summary "Cutting down size of very large article, unnecessary external links" broke the display in the "OS grid ref" table. The current display shows the latitude and longitude and the OS grid ref, with nothing clickable. I'm not sure how best we can remedy this given that there have been quite a lot of useful small edits to the page since then (not including the immediately following edit "(Fixed Linter errors)").

There are several links to this here, but are they different Marilyns? If so, can someone knowledgeable disambiguate them? Boleyn ( talk) 16:13, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
The "Region" column of the table has Scotland, Wales, England, the Isle of Man and Ireland. The latter is potentially confusing since it's being used in its geographical sense (and therefore includes peaks in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), while the rest are referring to political regions. It would make more sense for all peaks with "Ireland" in the Region column to be divided into "Republic of Ireland" and "Northern Ireland". That's around 400 entries, so it would take a while. But since every entry has map coordinates, it would be relatively straightforward. (Unless a peak lies on the border, of course.) -- Hux ( talk) 20:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
