== Description == The reason box in Special:MovePage allows you to enter a very long text, perhaps thousands of characters. However your text gets cut to one specific size in the history tab of the article. It gets cut to a different size in the move page log. Not publishing the full text which you wrote but only the beginning, without warning that the remaining part will be cut out is in my view not an acceptable feature. It ruins efforts to provide a good reason text and to have community members understand each other when they perform page moves. == Proposals == * Set the same maximum number of characters in both the history tab and the move log. * Replace that big box with a box containing the exact allowed number of characters, so that nothing gets cut once it has been put into the box. == Example == Original text put in the reason box : 335 bytes (including [] brackets) : Je place ici des tirets qui sont ceux de [[Place Charles-de-Gaulle]] de même nature que le tiret entre Saint et Denis dans [[Strasbourg - Saint-Denis (métro de Paris)]]. Voir aussi [[Gare Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 1]] ou [[Aéroport Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle]]. Application d'une règle de typographie, même si la RATP ne la respecte pas. *Move page log at the bottom of http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Renommer_une_page/Gare_Charles_de_Gaulle_-_%C3%89toile cut text : 239 bytes (without brackets) : Je place ici des tirets qui sont ceux de Place Charles-de-Gaulle de même nature que le tiret entre Saint et Denis dans Strasbourg - Saint-Denis (métro de Paris).
