SharePoint 2007 Wiki Link Limitation
So in the course of our daily events here on my project, one of the business analysts came over and asked me to look at a wiki page that they were setting up. It seemed as if the page had stopped rendering the link for the new page creations part way through the page. I immediately went and opened up my developer tools and looked at the styles and sure enough the styles were different.
The problem is a little bigger than it first seems because any of the broken links result in 404′s when you try to navigate to them
So I Googled a bit on the internet and found an obscure post on some scraped message board that said there was a 100 link limit. So I opened up excel and generated 120 wiki links and pasted them into a test page. Sure enough the first 100 were highlighted properly and the rest were broken in a similar fashion to what we had already seen.
I then tested filling in one of the links so it was no longer missing. Once the associated page was created and saved, you could see that now that link was appropriately highlighted, as it had content, and now link 101 was highlighted as a missing item. Confirming my suspicion that there is an internal SharePoint 2007 wiki limit of 100 links.
I imagine this was imposed in order to ensure wiki page responsiveness and the solution is simply not to have more than 100 links without content on a single wiki page. The 404 situation is unfortunate, but unavoidable.
