Tag length limit

Hi all,

we’re currently using tags to connect spells and skills to guilds. Some skills are provided in a lot of guilds, which means we need to put many tags on the page, but the tag entry box has a length limit of 70 characters. For example, this is already insufficient for the bludgeon skill.

There doesn’t seem to be a server-side limit (or I haven’t noticed one yet, at least), so I’ve made a script that temporarily disables the limit. You need Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension. (I hear there’s something for Opera that does the same thing, though.)

Once you have the extension, download the attached script (click on ‘files’ below, the file is wikidotutils.user.js), drag and drop it in a Firefox window and confirm you want to install it. It’ll add an ‘unlimit tags’ button to the right of the ‘tags’ button. When you click on tags and run out of space in the text box, click the new button to disable the limit. Please use this with caution.

The best way to do it is to simplify it. Lots of guilds get a combat skill, so just tag it as a combat skill.
