Re: Page length and Page separation syntax

Yes, the limit is set by the type of data that the wiki text is stored as in the database. If the current size is too small, the database table can be modified to store wikitext as a larger type.

I think, in situations like this, it would be a good idea to test the various possibilities in your own wiki. That would probably be faster and more satisfying than posting here. wink

The syntax to continue the text on a new page is literally "...page... Wiki page pagination has not been enabled." as the instructions and wiki help, etc., state.

Poems that (sorry for mixing genres here) contain the string "...page... Wiki page pagination has not been enabled." will probably have their following lines moved a mouse click more distant. But doing a few tests could probably produce a workaround, such as surrounding the string with no-parse tags or something.
