Summary: Limit for long page warning should be configurable
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
[[MediaWiki:Longpagewarning]] currently has a hardcoded limit of 29K. The
reason for this was very old browsers like Opera 6 having problems with
textareas larger than 32K (see [[Wikipedia:Article size#Web browsers which have
problems with long articles]] for details), but that is not a valid reason
anymore. Having a long page warning is still useful as a reminder for best
practices like [[Wikipedia:Article size]], but the specific limit of 29 (or 32)
K is too low. There should be a way to either configure the limit, or hide the
message (e.g. by setting it to "-" - in that case, parser functions could be
used to decide whether to show the message).
