There are many visible changes in the Brave New Wiki, namely:  In the old
Wiki, internal wiki links are stated as [[wiki page title]] in the raw
text.  Now those links are also displayed as [[wiki page title]] with the
square brackets.  It'd be a drag (i.e. not ideal, for those unfamiliar with
1960s lingo) to have to edit all of them to use the new format.  I have yet
to discover what the new format should be (I've spent about a minute).

For example, look at
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Fibonacci_Sequence
