Description Thehelpfulone 2011-04-25 13:01:44 UTC 
Hi,

When I was testing RevDelete on test.wikipedia.org, I tried to test out the max allowed length of the field. The field itself allows me to enter unlimited characters, but when it comes to save, it is obviously limited.

Therefore, can you put a limit on the character length of the field that = the limit that you're allowed to save so people don't put extra long reasons and then wonder where it's all disappeared to?

My test edit is http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RevisionDelete&target=User%3AThehelpfulone&type=revision&ids=66812.

Thanks :)

The related bug isn't exactly a duplicate, but it is related and could probably be fixed in a similar way.
Comment 2 Ryan Kaldari 2011-05-02 19:43:56 UTC 
Sounds like we just need to add a maxlength attribute to the input field in the HTML.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-05-03 15:21:09 UTC 
I'm told this is fixed, but can't check it.  Could you check and close this if it is fixed?
Comment 4 Thehelpfulone 2011-05-03 16:25:03 UTC 
Tested, there isn't a max limit on the length of the field added yet, see http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=User%3AThehelpfulone&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=. Thanks, THO
Comment 5 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-05-03 17:23:01 UTC 
Think this is fixed as of r87339.
