To increase the title characters limitation for Joomla article titles, you may try any or any combination of the following:

1. In the database (normally access via phpmyadmin or similar db managers), change the Length/Values of field name title (by default 100) to 255:
   
   field: title
   title_alias, table: jos_content
   
   change the field type of the title from varchar to text to remove the limit
2. Try also changing varchar to mediomtext
   
   
3. However, if the title and title alias boxes still alows only 100 characters (after checkin both frontend and backend with both browser and Joomla system cache cleared), open the file: 
   
   \administrator\components\com_content\admin.content.html
   
   and search and check for references to limitation of 100 (depending on your Joomla versions). 

Modifying the core code is highly discouraged for reasons of scalability (when upgrading Joomla versions). Also theoretically, there might be other dependencies in other tables and line codes.
