There is an enhancement for that. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51897 IMO the current behaviour isnt correct. There are so few instances that nowiki is desirable, that the current VE should refuse to accept wikitext (at least [[ and {{, and maybe ==, # and * at beginning of line, etc ), until at least such time as they have sorted out all the other bugs causing this to happen unintentionally. If the user needs to input [[ or {{ they can use the source editor. Or the VE could walk the user through each nowiki and either a) ask the user to confirm they want the obvious fix done automatically for them, or b) help them fix the problem. Before saving. nowiki is also being inserted at beginning of lines. https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yacimiento_de_Son_Forn%C3%A9s&diff=prev&oldid=68561708 https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joel_Lindpere&curid=5580501&diff=95038161&oldid=95037498 instead of lists https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jorge_Eslava&diff=68542729&oldid=68451155 There are 24 open bugs for 'visualeditor nowiki' https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?title=Special%3ASearch&quicksearch=visualeditor%20nowiki&list_id=219994 -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
