Description se4598 2013-02-09 23:00:11 UTC 
Extend the character-limit of the note-field for moderation-actions.
Currently it should be around 253 (255-varchar-sql?)

Example of a long cutted-of text: resolve-message of http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Artikelrückmeldungen_v5/Steinerscher_Satz/15451
Comment 1 Matthias Mullie 2013-04-16 13:02:29 UTC 
The input field now has a fixed maximum length and a character countdown will be displayed.
The reason the text is cut is indeed the varchar(255) column in the logging table, which is not something AFT can just change.

For now, I'll mark it as wontfix. If this remains a big problem even after having added this fixed length & countdown, we'd have to either start discussions to grow the size of logging's log_comment column, or save large texts to an AFT-specific table (but then MW logging & recentchanges functionality won't see them)
