Change the pagination of the drupal admin taxonomy term list page

I found that the limit per page is set by a variable in the taxonomy module. There's a call to get the value on Line 262 of taxonomy.admin.inc:

$page_increment = variable_get('taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin', 100); // Number of terms per page.

But unless I'm overlooking something, it's never actually SET in the code, and it's not configurable. So it always hits the default. This caused me some problems because I wanted to do some custom sorting of one of our taxonomy term lists, but finding it impossible when the list is paginated. Every time I save the order, the weights are reset. So there's no way to move items between pages, for example.

The simple workaround in my case was to set this default a bit higher, allowing the whole list to display on one page. Obviously I don't want to be changing anything in core, but I haven't found a more straightforward fix yet.

I'm in the same situation. I have 8 pages of terms and I have terms on the 3rd page that I want to bring to first page. Not possible without this hack of showing them all on one page by setting the limit way too high.

Please allow the items per page to by dynamic this way I can bring the term to the top of the page, set the items per page higher and this will bring the term to the bottom of the previous page...and so on

keep jumping until I reach the page I want. And maybe include a "Show All" option.

Same problem. Subscribing

This is easy to set with drush. For instance, to set number of items per page to 500:
drush vset taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin 500

For those still looking for a solution as I was:

You can

• create a new page
• make the input type PHP code
• paste the following code
• Save or Preview the page

<?php
variable_set ('taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin',1000);
?>

where 1000 is the number of terms to show before the next page...

For hook_menu

/**
 * Implements hook_menu().
 */
function my_module_menu() {
  $items = array();
  $items['admin/config/system/taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin'] = array(
    'title' => 'Set count of taxonomy terms per page',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'page arguments' => array('my_module_taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin_form'),
    'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'),
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );

  return $items;
}

And form

/**
 * Implements hook_form().
 */
function my_module_taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin_form($form, &$form_state) {
  $form = array();
  $form['taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin'] = array(
    '#title' => t('Count of taxonomy terms per page'),
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#default_value' => variable_get('taxonomy_terms_per_page_admin', 100)
  );

  return system_settings_form($form);
}

Does anyone have an idea of how this is accomplished in Drupal 8 with Drush 8 and 9? I'm getting command not found.

Attaching the patch for drupal 8.4. It removes the pagination from taxonomy in backend.
