At the moment wikimarkup being entered into the VE triggers a notice warning the user that it won't work - this notice then has to be actively dismissed. It'd be nice if, should the user remove the problematic markup, the notice would vanish. I'm popping this in as a low-priority enhancement: I appreciate the VE team has active breakage to focus on.

The popup should also be closed automatically after the "save page" button has been pressed. At that point it's clear that the user is not going to remove any markup that still remains (for whatever reason) so the notice serves no other purpose and just gets in the way of the edit summary dialog.

There's an issue with this though, in that the popup hovers over the 'Save page' button so I couldn't actually click 'Save page' very easily. It wasn't at all clear to me that clicking anywhere on the popup would close it.

That area of code could do with some rethinking, but this is basically done.
