Comments content is limited in characters (Regression) VW4A

Comments havew a very limited number of characters. This is a big problem, as discussions may contain part of the article, discuss chapters, or contain text used to form the article.

Additionally:
My site allows lower ranking members to post comments, but not edit wikis. This allows lower ranking members to suggest large texts by posting it as comments. This allows higher ranking members to review it and copy it to the article.
Since Vaultwiki does not cater to this situation, this is another reason why comments need to be able to contain large texts.

We have a setting "Maximum Characters in Discussion Comments" which is currently set to 10,000. Are you hitting that limit or something lower?

I see what you are referring to now. What you are attempting to write is the meta description for the entire discussion. Meta descriptions are limited to 200 characters because they are what appears as the previews in some search engines.

Comments are added under the discussion topic after it's created, and comments themselves are limited to 10,000 characters.

Since a better description would eliminate this confusion.

This actually refers to discussions. See the discussion 'discussions for help' posted on pages.php?title=Help
The text displayed is the maximum amount of text that can be added to: pages.php?title=Help&do=comments&action=talk
