I created a wikilink [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Anonymouse/sandbox2&diff=558776770&oldid=548109401] as [[United_States]]. I then tried to use VisualEditor to change the underscore to a space ([[United States]]), but it said that my edit was ignored due to no changes. However, if I actually click the link button and click the United States link suggestion, it works as expected. That is how I eventually accomplished the edit with VisualEditor [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Anonymouse/sandbox2&diff=558777422&oldid=558776770].
Is this a Parsoid issue? <p><a href="./Main_page" rel="mw:WikiLink" data-parsoid="{"a":{"href":"./Main_page"},"sa":{"href":"Main_page"},"stx":"simple","dsr":[0,13,2,2]}">Main page</a></p> serialises to [[Main_page]] whereas <p><a href="./Main_page" rel="mw:WikiLink">Main page</a></p> serialises to [[Main page]] which is what we want
This got fixed a long time ago; sorry for the slow triage on your report.
