Very nice 🙂  
With the addition of Topic mentions (and autocomplete), making interconnected wikis will be much nicer!

Thought: Discoverability  
@mentions are easy to understand, because the @ appears in the styled text. If I #mention a category, it hides the #. I foresee lots of “how did you do that?” posts, or worse: people not using the feature because they don’t know how.
