User:Ciencia Al Poder. I started a feature request on Bugzilla:
* https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166989
Default MediaWiki setting for length of filenames in categories is 22 characters. Then the ellipsis (...) shows up.
You have to go outside Wikipedia and the Commons to see this. For example look at "File:Under contruction icon-yellow.svg" filename in this category on the Shoutwiki Hub user image category.
* http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Category:User_images
It shows up as "Under contruction icon..."
That is a total of 22 characters and spaces before the ellipsis shows up. That is way too short. We need a longer default length, and/or a config setting to choose a longer length.
Wikipedia and Commons have much longer filenames in categories. See:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_non-free_files_with_valid_backlink
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Women%27s_March_on_Washington
Commons has a default gadget setting for longer filenames. I don't know how Wikipedia does it. It doesn't matter whether one is logged in or not. Both Wikipedia and the Commons have long filenames in categories.
