Wiki now supports text markdown and styling from the toolbar! We are continually improving our compose experience in Wiki, look out for new improvements coming soon!

The available font colours are far too bright. We need stronger colours with more contrast to support legibility and and signal effect.

The markdowns as well as the toolbar is poorly implemented. I badly miss the possibility to add mailto-links! Neither possible with markdowns nor with the toolbar.
The @user markdown is also rubbish. On the pop-up contact card which appears when you click on the name neither the e-mail address nor the phone number is clickable – doesn't make sense to me.

why can't word be the text editor for wiki, then we will get all the benefits of what word gives. If I can Have a Word File edited in teams using word why not make word the text editor for the Wiki also?

Hey, Perfect Wiki has an excellent text editor. You can paste data from Microsoft Office, set different levels of headings, create tables, etc. https://perfectwiki.xyz

It would be helpful to have more than one level of heading. And it should be possible to format headings. For instance, when a heading is for a critical alert, I want to be able to make it stand out - probably as red text.

The "try this instead" doesn't address the problems.

The current editor is awful! I have to triple click or even more to open a section or enter text. Wiki were created to make hypertext, and the hypertext functionality is terrible! I can't make a link to a section. (The commands indicate that I can copy a link to one, but it doesn't work.) I've used many other wiki, and this is the hardest to use, least functional.

At the moment (December 2019) the Wiki is an essential component for teams but is an extremely limited, frustrating, buggy piece of software.
Why is this taking so long to get right ?
Run some UX experiments with real people trying to use this useless thing and learn some lessons and fix it. Get it done Microsoft.

I would like to mark the lines in the table as transparent so that I can format text and image more neatly. Place them next to each other.
And also - the text formatting has very few options. -

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".
