This shows up in the JS console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&generator=pref…edian&gpsnamespace=0&prop=info%7Cpageprops&ppprop=disambiguation&redirect=
This is two separate bugs – we shouldn't be sending these to the API anyway, but we also should cope with the 400 error, which I've made into bug 66139.
The HTTP 400 error we get comes with an error: {"code":"request_too_long","info":"Prefix search request was longer longer than the maximum allowed length. (267 > 255)"}
This is sent by CirrusSearch. Which explains why some wikis don't have this issue.
External URLs can be valid titles, we just want to ignore invalid titles (i.e. things over 255 characters).
