I like to use and take lot of my note in OneNote whenever they are final I will try to put them in the wiki. But when I paste them to Wiki they are Just HORRENDOUS and I do not have paste options other than keep the same format or paste as a plain text. Why on earth it gets pasted in a completely different font if the Wiki should support something like Markdown? Why does it retains colors? It is a nightmare to format Pasted text from OneNote Especially when you have already formatted it with Headings 1,2,3 or has like a table.
It is taking lot of time to transfer and reformat everything. I do not want to use Wikis as a scratch place since they are not private. -

Sometimes after pasting in data, pieces of text become impossible to select/edit/delete. IT would be really helpful if it was possible to paste in plain text data or clear all formatting. It seems that the editor is going for simple uniformity, but it's difficult to actually achieve that with so few options to clean up pasted info or work with different header options.

I don't see where it supports true MD.

It is still not very good a pasting text from other sources: E.g. the text size can not be changed.

Some of the markdown (bold, italics, lists, blockquote, code, links) seems to work, some others don't (headings, horizontal rules, tables).

Confluence has much better support. Microsoft can learn a thing or two from Atlassian.

Why don't you guys do it exactly like you do on the recent TFS Wiki functionality: wiki editable via. browser for the non-tech people with wysiwyg, but markdown & git behind the scenes, so the "nerds" can edit in the preferred md-compatible program (like VS Code), commit, push and done! Super flexibility, everyone is happy. Scalable, future-proof solution!

+1 on @Bert's comment: we don't need another wyswyg editor, what we'd like is an actual wiki, ideally, leveraging the power of the CMS backing it.
- Create new topics/pages simply by adding a link to them
- get rid of the .mhtml format
- … other "ideas"these are not "ideas", they're obvious product must haves if indeed this is a "wiki".

Why is it called a Wiki?
It doesn't even support creating Wiki links [[new topic]] :/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext
We don' need another WYSYWYG editor, or at least provide a Markup Editing mode.

More formating options would be great like center images (aligning options), support for Attachments in general etc...

I would say the text editing should function more like OneNote for a start. And I think editable objects from excel and word are missed.

I also require table functionality. Tables need to have headers that remain visible as the page is scrolled, and columns should be sort-able.

Why not just use a Word document? Am I missing something? especially since the Wiki cannot be opened on mobile devices.

Adding tables
or copying a selection of cells from excel
or copying tables from word/onenote in an editable state, instead of an image block. -

We need the text editor to function in a similar way to that of Evernote's browser-based app.

Also agree the need for adding and working with Tables

It should have at least similar capabilities to what Confluence can provide (which is a lot).
Wouldn't simply linking word functionality into the wiki give you 99% of the capabilities required? -

Yes, the ability to add tables, text alignment, insert images better.
