Data too long for column error in CreateWiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Problem: Adding a long comment in the RequestWikiQueue/RequestWikiEdit special page(s) produces the following db error:

Database error
Jump to navigationJump to search
⧼baseform-tabs-navigation-hint⧽
A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.

[1434f3c0d17f8c6b7356f285] 2020-07-10 06:40:32: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"

@Reception123 traced the error down as it being a problem with the text entered being too long for the column, responding, "@Doug it's because you wrote too much." Error was "data too long for column."

Resolution/Workaround: I condensed it down as a workaround, but Reception said we can still file a low priority CreateWiki bug to resolve this longer term.
