Bug ID: 45669
Summary: Module page truncates very large modules
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto

The page Module:Convertdata, i.e. data intended to be used by Module:Convert,
recently crossed 200 kB. After doing so, it appears the Module page truncates
it and only displays a small fraction of the content when view as a reader.
Compare:
Truncated revision is displayed:

Much longer Source for that revision:

Is this truncation necessary? If it is technically necessary for some reason,
then I would suggest that there should at least be some message warning users
about the truncation. If it is not necessary, then it should be fixed to show
the whole page.
Also, I would note that the truncation is rather strange, since it isn't a
straight truncation, rather a large block in the middle was removed leaving
parts of the beginning and the end. Perhaps this is related to the syntax
highlighting being unhappy with very large pages for some reason?
