@KieranMcCann-WMF We are currently limiting the number of accounts we list and the number we show next to Temporary accounts from all associated IPs: to 101, even if there are more associated accounts. Should we perhaps say 100+ instead, perhaps indicate something in the list of account names as well?

@dom_walden Thanks for highlighting this. I’m assuming this would be a very rare edge case?

I agree that saying 100+ in this instance would better.

I wonder if we should change the copy for View all contributions from these accounts View contributions from these accounts.

If the list of accounts is expanded then we could have a line at the bottom stating We are only able to show 101 accounts.

I’m open to other copy suggestions. cc @STran
