I was trying to create a page for "Forbidden Brides Of The Faceless Slaves In The Secret House Of The Night Of Dread Desire", and for some reason it didn't occur to me that that might lead to a title length issue.

In the event, when I hit the save-page button there wasn't any kind of error message, it just dumped me back on the default "we don't have a page for this title" page. I was going to just shrug, assume it had failed, and move on, but then I noticed that the edit appears on my My Edits page (though not on the page's own edit history).

[ETA: Also, it appears the redlink-bluelink system now believes that the page exists.]

So I'm not sure if the edit actually happened or not. If the page content does exist somewhere, that would be nice, because I put some work into it but didn't think to make a copy outside the edit window. If it doesn't, I can live with that, but in that case there's a false entry on my My Edits page [and the redlink-bluelink system] that needs cleaning up.
