Does anyone notice if you use a long WIKI title, your article will not save as you expect??

For instance, use this in your WIKI:

[[Something really long that that will break wiki and confuse the user and waste time]]

After the user edits, saves, and tries to edit again, the page is blank.   Does anyone know if this is already fixed?

I'm using WIKI 4.00.1

In 4.00.1 there is a limited on the page name to get around this in 4.01.0 at page title has been added for seo purposes which creating a page in the manner that you have suggested may still case isssues I believe there is a 50 - 100 character limit on a page name.

So all in all I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

Sorry John, but I didn't quite understand your answer.  So the new version fixes this problem or are you saying it's  still possibly a problem?   If it simplies truncates data/titles, I can live with it; but if a person spends 1 hour writing something and then it disapeears on re-edit, then I'd be very worried still.

In 04.01.00 you can provide a page Name, which is used for the link, and a Page Title which is what will be displayed at the top of the page and in the browser title bar. I would make the page name something shorter than your original string, and make your string the page title.

Chris, your solution seems like a workaround to display long titles.  However, I'm more concerned about people that will be using the WIKI but don't know about this workaround.  Is there anyway to explicity/verbally block the user from entering titles that are too long of links/titles so that we do not run into data loss scenarios?   I just don't want people (including myself) to spend hours typing up a document and then to realize it's gone for no apparent reason without any warning at all.  I'm sure you guys have run into a scenario where you lost hours of code because you didn't save.   Bottum line is I would like the system to be idiot proof if possible :) 

Let me know if I've totally misunderstood your point.

Thanks!
