--- Comment #1 from Quiddity <[email protected]> ---
Wikitext is purposefully Plain text only. IIRC, these are the reasons why:

*Links: 
** Links generally shouldn't be in headers, because the bolded text makes it
harder for some people to see that the link is there.
** Plus it's generally counter to the (Enwiki) styleguides [[WP:LINKSTYLE]] and
[[WP:Header]]. (Although, do any other projects make a standard practice of
including links in section headers?)
** Also "editors who have their preferences set to edit sections by clicking on
the header will not be able to click these links" -
[[Help:Section#Section_linking]]   (Although this might not apply to Flow)
** Flow currently uses most of the topic-title as a clickable area to trigger
the topic-collapse. This would conflict with wikilinks.

*Italics:
** I agree that this should be allowed. We need italics for proper formatting
of things like media titles, court cases, etc, in Enwiki. ([[WP:ITALICS]])

*Other?
** Is there any other wikitext that topic titles might need?
