Can we increase size of article, category and menu titles to make Joomla more flexible and use it not only for blogs but also for non-standard, highly specialized purposes like eg. gov websites with legal acts which sometimes have very long titles.
Currently the maximum length of titles in Joomla is 255 characters (varchar field in DB) while in WP it is Text field (65,535 characters).
This change will increase flexibility of Joomla.
More over, it is possible to migrate from Joomla to WP with few clicks, but very difficult the other way round. This could be the first step to make it possible in future.
Changing the size of titles requires changing the length of the title field in the table "finder_links" (if full titles are required in that table).
