      There are multiple points using a wiki where a new page title is required and no validation for the 255 character limit is present.

      a) When creating a new page in mod_wiki (fake example URL: https://replace-with-url.org/mod/wiki/create.php?action=new&swid=168), the form doesn't ensure that the page title is less than 256 characters. This leads to a database error.
      (QA URL: https://qa.moodledemo.net/mod/wiki/create.php?action=new&swid=2)

      b) When creating a new wiki, the form mod_wiki_mod_form doesn't validate the form field firstpagetitle (Fake example URL: https://replace-with-url.org/course/modedit.php?add=wiki&type=&course=8&section=0&return=0&sr=0)
