My wiki's page titles may be very long. Can I
adjust the maximum length allowed for page titles?
Unfortunately the maximum length is currently hardcoded at 255 bytes[1], because
that's the length of the database field.
You could be able to achieve something by making that field a blob (or simply increasing
its size) and then grepping MW's source code for '255' or '256' and
adjusting accordingly. (But beware, some other things are also hardcoded at 255 bytes,
e.g. edit summaries.)
