Upload wizard: increase character limit on Author field for Own work
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Author field is currently limited to 50 characters. Some names can be longer than that. We should increase it to something longer; maybe 128? Or something else that makes sense from an implementation point of view.

Note that this is about the "Own work" author field. For other works, it would need to be even longer, since many people can be listed as authors.
