           Summary: Block log entry truncated
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified

            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal

I blocked a user with auto-IP block, giving a reference to the
offending edit (replaced President Obamas Picture with an
apes picure yet another time) as an URL of his/her edit diff.

Unfortunately, the URL became truncated, rendering its
remainder uttely useless, as you can see below.
While I cannot object limiting log entry sizes to something reasonable, I'd
suggest to either:
- lift the limit considerably so as to accomodate the standard
  texts plus an URL.
- warn the blocking admin before his entry gets truncated so as
  to allow her/him to find a sensible replacement.
