I think you forgot to reference %REVISION% variable in mode=userformat here. Great job at documenting otherwise!!!

titlemaxlength and userformat

When using the mode = userformat the titlemaxlength is not respected.

If you have a title called 1234567890 and use the following:

mode = userformat
listseparators = ,¶* %TITLE%,
titlemaxlength = 5

You will not have the title cut as 12345...

Thought I'd let ya know. 64.252.183.33 03:15, 15 June 2007 (CEST) (No account yet).

Thank you for finding out. This is a slight inconsistency which will be removed in the next release. I guess it's preferrable to have the same behaviour of titlemaxlength throughout all modes. Gero 05:30, 15 June 2007 (CEST)
