SMW 2.5 and MW 1.31 are not compatible:

SMW version: 2.5.6

This version is no longer supported. For details, see [0].

Using SMW without any intermediary as demonstrated by [1] will have no length issue you apparently observed which leads to the conclusion that extension pageforms is the reason for your troubles and you should report the issue with their ticket system.

As for:

Those are unrelated to SMW.

@JaviRoch Thanks for reaching out to us. Actually you are not just having one issue but a potpourri of issues with multiple extensions.

When it comes to storing more than 3000 characters to a property of type text, this works with a compatible version. See the example on sandbox.

In the end it appears to come down to Page Forms and its "textarea" input type. I believe this should work with recent and compatible versions of MediaWiki, Semantic MediaWiki and Page Forms. Thus I recommend updating Semantic MediaWiki and Page Forms.

Closing as invalid for SMW.
