Possibly a mobile editing error
editHelp talk:Plainlinks Anytime I hit return button on mobile in source editor, it show a return symbol in visual editor. All the boxes I did that were not that of previous editors showed that (en.wikipedia.org/wiki|whatever Wikipedia capitalization or word arrangement I put there) are underneath the boxes. Also, when doing links to English Wikipedia for what information the boxes should make, it show external link icon arrow in box next to the blue URL link that was not supposed to show, thus making them non-plainlinks, and it show all of the blue link source editing in visual editor.
Note: The return symbol appeared on one of the blue links that actually appeared as words blue links with no source editing shown, but I press return button and reverts it to the source editing with blue url link that my other Wikipedia English links shown are conforming to, with the addition of that aforementioned return symbol.

- @Dimensionalizing Multi-Dimensional Entity: I don't believe you are using the source editor. This diff would be marked as Visual edit: Switched if at any point you actually switched to the source editor. The
<nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags are a dead giveaway of a user adding code while still in the visual editor. Please, for the future though, if you want to test this kind of thing, then use your sandbox. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:31, 13 June 2023 (UTC)- What about return symbol showing up when tapping return button on mobile, is that a glitch?

- @Dimensionalizing Multi-Dimensional Entity: I genuinely don't know what you are referring to. If you can re-create the situation you are referring to in the sandbox and make a cropped screenshot of it, I would upload that to Wikimedia Commons and file a bug report. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
