Summary of Changes

The "Maximum Items" option in the "List All Tags" menu item has no description, so it is not clear what it does.
I thought that it would set the default # Items Filter, but that is using the Default Limit List in Global Configuration.

This option limits the number of tags shown on the List All Tags page only.
It is used only when the "Display Select" pagination dropdown is hidden (see TagsModel::getListQuery()).

It can easily be confused with the limit for items shown on a single tag page.
That limit is controlled by the "# Items to List" option or the global "Default List Limit" setting.

This PR adds a description to explain what this option is used for.

Testing Instructions

  • Create a menu item of type Tags > List All Tags
  • Open the Selection Options tab and look at the "Maximum Items" field.

Thanks for your contribution, but I have to says this is not a bug, if you really think it's needed please rebase it to 6.2 thanks.

beside that we use COM_TAGS_LIST_MAX_DESCRIPTION since 4.0 instead of the short form. ( I know it's used in this xml but mostly because it's legacy usage and changing it would only create work for translators)
