Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

The bit that renders page URLs as titles doesn't have the length limit, the editor does. I just tested and both of those are too long; the pages can't be created.
If there's an Officially Shortened Title, create the work's page there, instead.
Edited by wingedcatgirl Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.^ Cut it off. A Story About Treating A Female Knight Who Has Never Been Treated As A Woman fits the limit.
I'm not sure what to do after creating the page.
2025: the year it all ends?I'm trying to see if there's some official short-hand title, but given the work's relatively obscure and originally in Japanese that's easier said than done.
I may go with the suggestion ^, but that's not an official English title so not sure it wouldn't break the rules. Then again, this may be a case of necessity to get the page going at all.
Edited by sgamer82As far as I understand the system, it goes "most recent official English title" > "most recent romanized title" > we abandon title rules at this point and rely on "whatever works".
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.This issue happened before with Recap.Star Vs The Forces Of Evil S 1 E 19 St Olgas Reform School For Wayward Princess. In that case, the solution was to truncate the end of the title and use the custom title to fix the lost bit.
It's an acceptable compromise given the length limit on titles. It's at the database level, as I understand, so you can't work around it in any other way.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"With all that in mind, if/when I make the page I'll use the title bwburke94 suggested. It's not an official English title, but I don't know where the proper cutoff would be for the Japanese one, which is also too long.
If a manageable official English comes along or I discover the Officially Shortened Title later, I'll move things accordingly.

I was wondering about creating a page for a manga, but its title in both English and Japanese are so long I'm not sure we could do it. I recall there's a character limit to a title length somewhere in the sixties, but the English translated title is 70 while the Japanese title is 65 characters long.
At the same time, I tried just going to the page manually to see where/if it would cut off and it seemed fine, so is the limit no longer an issue?
The titles in question:
