I've sent feedback a long time ago and considering I don't use the feature because of the above reasons, it makes no sense to just repeat myself. If I remember correctly, Staff were considering not using wikitext at all and the FAQ offer no promise of its inclusion (and suggests in a wordy manner that it won't be included). Wikitext is so much easier/quicker than any visual button formatting. Linking with URLs looks unprofessional. Wikitext templates are likely not going to included.

Sorry, but "per whatever whoever above said" comments are completely unnecessary as they add absolutely nothing to the discussion.
