... instead of wiki-link in edit description while autoediting
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I turned on my automatic ShabeBot in RuWiki.

And while doing its edits, in the edit descriptions, it wrote "..." three times instead of the wikilink it was supposed to write. It was supposed to be "числовые формы — автоправка по [[Википедия:Запросы_к_ботоводам#числовые_формы_->_соответствующая_разметка|заданию]]", and it did write that a thousand times correctly, like there for example. But here are the 3 edits with ... instead of the wikilink:

1
2
3

Why? Because it made too many edits during 1 second and didn't have enough time to fill in the whole edit description? Or..?
It definitely had enough space to write the whole description it was programmed to.

Event Timeline

AWB currently sets a maximum edit summary length of 255 characters (or "bytes" when dealing with UTF-8).

Niepodkoloryzowany claimed this task.

Oh, then maybe it's the long headings that make AWB meet the byte limit (1: →Политический и стратегический тупик; 2: →Сведения о доходах и собственности) 🤷‍♂️ Thank you!

seems like the character length should be bigger in newer versions. maybe even in 6.4.0.1, which I've downloaded
