List limit warning?

I found out that there was a list limit recently.

While the numbers pretty large, if we were to hit that number, is there a warning that the list has hit it's limit?

Or at least does it just not let you add to the list?

My worry is that it just deletes titles to make room without your knowing.

Increase the limit on watchlists, lists, and check-ins beyond 10,000 items

I haven't reached the 10,000 limit on any list, so I can't say for sure. I doubt that it would delete old items. I expect it would either warn you or just reject those beyond 10k. 

You could perform a test by creating a list you don't really want, and copy titles to it, 250 at a time from another list. Frankly, you can just add the same titles over and over, because that's allowed. That would be 40 pages to copy, then see what happens. Maybe on the last one, only add 245 titles, then pick 6+ titles that are NOT already on the list, and try to copy those.

Fortunately, Ratings are not really a list, so you can rate more than 10k titles.

ok I guess Im answering my own question here lol, but I did it, and I can confirm that it just doesn't let you and gives an error message.
