Is there a character limit for edit reasons?

And if not, should there be?

I don't think there is one, and I'm not sure there should be.

Only reasons I can think of is that there's not another Wall of Text to read through.

It's a similar thing to Natter. Explaining it can be done very quickly and easily.

I think there should be a limit, but it doesn't have to be low. I mean, 50 characters should be more than enough to explain why something was deleted. Maybe 100 if we're stretching it.

I was thinking more like along the lines of 300 characters or so. Long enough to give a fairly detailed explanation if necessary, but not long enough to enable somebody to, say, paste in the lyrics to "Giggle at the Ghostly".

That works better, then, agreed.

I just think we should avoid the Wall of Text, since it's entirely annoying as is. I mean, clear, concise, and witty still applies to everywhere on the main wiki, I'm not sure why edit reasons would be seperate from that. Although, it probably is, but either way, we want exact reasoning.

So long enough to be thorough but not so long that some one can have a rant, does that sound right?

Sounds good to me. Though most rude edit reasons are short enough that I don't see this solving that particular problem.

I think the current small box discourages long reasons.

There's a difference between rude and a rant.

Probably unnecessary, bumping to clarify.

Concurring. Text Walls as edit reasons are not common enough to justify implementing this.

I could go with either not implementing character limits or making them fairly large (say, 250 characters). The latter would prevent the occasional Wall of Text reason while still allowing complex reasons to be stated.
