No, the bug as reported elsewhere was fixed (paste of a URL would be no-wiki'ed if it was input a reference, but not if pasted into the article). This is also the bug exhibited in all three of your examples.

However, you're right, there are a few minor situations where it is possible for users to frustrate the system and insert <nowiki>s anyway – specifically, when the content being pasted is longer than 80 characters (for performance reasons) or has multiple things in it, rather than just a simple link. I'm not sure there's a sane fix that doesn't damage/break the system for other users, however.

What do you think?

Does that make this task a WONTFIX / declined? Asking as tasks shouldn't be stalled for years.
