Currently the extension doesn't seems to respect the max number of articles which a book could have ($wgCollectionMaxArticles = 500 [1]). You can confirm this by going to a big category of Wikipedia, with more than 500 articles (e.g. [[Category:Living_people]]), and adding it to a collection. The extension will add only 500 pages, but then it should display the warning from [[MediaWiki:coll-limit_exceeded_text]] ("Your book is too big. No more pages can be added."), and it doesn't. Besides this, if you go to another article wich is not in you big book (e.g. [[Sport]])), and add it, your book will have 501 pages and no warning will be displayed. A user can also easily create a book page ([[Category:Wikipedia books (community books)]]) with more than 500 pages and then load it into [[Special:Book]]. This inconsistent use of $wgCollectionMaxArticles should be fixed. [1] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Collection/Collection.php?view=markup#l86
Has anyone noticed this bug?
Unassigning default assignments. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/54734
This seems easy, but also a non-issue ... it doesn't explode when it said it should?
Is it really necessary to have a variable to set a limit on the number of pages a book could have? Maybe the option could just be dropped since it doesn't works (currently) and nothing bad seems to happens because of that...

BTW: If someone fix this limit, I will need to be changed from its default value, since some Wikimedia wikis have books with more than 500 pages. E.g. [[pt:b:Wikilivros:Livros/Livro de receitas]], which has 1993 pages!

Is the 501-pages book actually exported? If it is, then I wouldn't bother too much. If it fails, then that's confusing for users.
The export fails with this message: "Book rendering failed There was an error while attempting to render your book. Return to Wikilivros:Página principal." (the error does not happens after I remove the 501th page from the book and try again)
