Description James Forrester 2014-06-04 20:42:08 UTC
This results in a quite bad outcome for the user, totally inexplicably. Instead we should just catch these errors and state them as invalid links (or have a different message?).
Comment 1 Alex Monk 2014-06-06 20:17:22 UTC
Gerrit change #138016 should make it so that these show invalid title warnings. Though I haven't got CirrusSearch installed on my dev wiki so haven't tested it against the request_too_long Cirrus error.
