I need more details here. Why are we talking about wikitext in VE?

Because NicoV was testing the wikitext mode on the Beta Cluster yesterday.

@Esanders I was testing the new wikitext editor (included in VE) on beta, and when editing the World page, headings like == World literature == where correctly detected as a Heading, but not ==Test== (which has no whitespace characters between the heading markers and the heading itself).

Esanders renamed this task from ==Heading== not detected to Format menu doesn't detect headings without spaces in NWE.Oct 7 2016, 4:44 PM
