Bug #: 38974
Summary: $wgMaxSigChars can be circumvented by using templates

As reported at
[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxSigChars?diff=568295] the setting
introduced on r22960 (to fix bug 8458) do not consider the length of the
substituted templates used in the signature, so although {{subst:<Very long
template name>}} will be rejected if the template name has more than
$wgMaxSigChars (-10) characters, {{subst:Main page}} will work even if the main
page is a lot longer than $wgMaxSigChars.
The validation should be fixed to consider the length of the expanded
(subst'ed) signature.
