User "Platonides" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r87808.

Commit summary:

Prevent user from trying to move a page to a title longer than 255 bytes.

This just puts a maxlength on the field (+ byte counter js) which is much
nicer and clearer feedback to the user if they went over the limit then:
"The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked 
inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters which 
cannot be used in titles"
Which doesn't exactly indicate a length error.

Comment:

You could iterate all namespaces to find the upper limit. But it kind of breaks 
as you can easily get a limit enforced in the UI and then a lower one by the 
server, although JavaScript could detect namespaces and add their length to the 
limit.
