Hello everyone! Thank you for this improvement. IMHO, this is enough: power users know how to copy/paste a link or a short wikicode. This file name feature is not for general public use. I hope more newbies will use VisualEditor, and they do not need this feature.
The "File:" prefix is optional: it is automaticaly added by the interface (and translated). If you type wikicode, you know how to add a prefix. Is it possible to have VisuelEditor's media editing box on vector and monobook? This may convict power user not to ask for this kind of feature.
