regarding the original synopsis ("Please DWIM when i press "[[", "{{", "=="
etc."), the truth/beauty/whatever is in the eye of the beholder (personally, i
think the original synopsis was better and clearer than the current one, but
again, it's in the eye of the beholder). 
however, comment #0 is only cryptic if one doesn't bother to read it. 
it states as plainly and clearly as humanly possible what is the requested
action (surprisingly, under "REQUESTED ACTION"). 


VE was activated today on hewiki for anons (only several hours ago), and we
already see proliferation of "nowiki" tags enclosing internal links (popup and
all notwithstanding).


it is somewhat frustrating that this problem was reported months ago, it became
very clear, through actual usage, that the popup warning is not enough to solve
it, and yet the VE team broadcast an air of indifference/complacency/arrogance
when discussing the issue, either by closing with "WONTFIX", assigning priority
"low", or throwing snide remarks when we report the issue and ask for (well
defined) solutions (and first and foremost, of course, simply by not fixing
it).


peace.
