When it came up before, I thought there was a problem with enabling it

wiki'd?
Unless the old issues have some really unusual text in them, they will
look the same as before or better. I have seen a few rare cases over in
maven land, where the Maven 1 starting lines looked rather unpleasant
after enabling wiki fields there.
Old issues get wikified too.
Suggestion from the peanut gallery: make the change and see if anyone
complains. IMO the benefits are worth it. Besides {code}, it's handy to
be able to link to [urls|http://foo.com] and [attached files|^foo.txt]
inline.
What happens to http://foo.com on its own? Currently that gets turned
into a link, will all the links we have get unlinked?
No they won't. None of the current features, like creating links just by
typing the address, will be removed.
If these are the primary gains, it seems to me that wikified issues
are worse than normal ones. Links are harder to do, making code easier
to do is actually a bad idea as we'd much rather see patches than code
dumps, and being able to link to an attached file is a nice to have -
rarely needed.
Links can work the same if you want them to.
I don't see people using {code} to enter patches, but to separate
configuration examples, xml file snippets and code examples. I think it
makes the issues easier to read.
