@FishTank, the fact you have options between Visual and Source, is great not every site provides that (it just be nice for this bug to go away).

Also, I know this isn't realistic but I wish everything was in source, in my other Wikis, almost anyone who edits in Visual at one time or another messes up a template or infobox somehow or added extra redundant coding on accident. Most of the time in the Wiki's I admin for if anyone out right refuses to edit in source mode (sometimes it is needed for certain templates/infoboxes) they do more damage to the Wiki than help.

Sure it cuts down on some of your pool of contributors but usually the templates I have set up on those Wikis make updating and maintenance minimal (one wiki (well it's kinda 2 English and French) only really 2 of us maintain it easily, with odd help from others once in a blue moon) that we don't need lots of editors. Though my french counterpart needs more french help cause we haven't completely translated it because my french is too dusty.

Plus most of the time when I convert a Visual to Source mode Contributor their confidence in editing the Wiki usually improves, edits improve and they can even get more active (cause I have no problem assisting and mentoring, plus I try to make templates as user friendly as possible and I set up Help pages). But that is just in my experience (think it is 5-6 on and off years editing for Wikis) and my opinion.
