Description Liangent 2011-02-09 09:34:33 UTC
1) Interwikis like [[google: ]] does not apply the same limit.
2) Namespace info is unknown in the remote wiki: [[zh:Wikipedia:... (255 dots) ...]] can be legal on zhwiki but cannot pass length check on enwiki as an interwiki link.

Could you please point to real cases or examples where this is a problem?

To make links on [[zh:User:Liangent/bug27275]] work.

Why is this a bug belonging to the Wikimedia product?
Comment 4 Quim Gil 2013-03-18 18:15:58 UTC
Sorry, I'm trying to find the right home for it (and learning while doing it).

It seems the related code is at includes / Title.php 2732-2743
