Present situation: the Visual Editor, when clicking on an existing Wiki-Link, provides the chain-link icon which in turn opens a dialogue which contains a pick list. In the pick list two sections exist: "Existing page" (value e.g. "Pretoria") and "Web link" (e.g. "http://Pretoria").
The present dialogue is good enough for creating new links. However, for existing links it is somewhat confusing to offer a nonsense http:// link as an equally valid alternative to an existing or previously confirmed wiki page.
I suggest to keep the present behaviour for new links, but for existing wiki-page-links suppress the "web link" part of the pick list. It will still be possible to enter URLs directly in the dialogue box, the enhancement is only about suppressing it in the pick list.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
