It looks like you made that edit in visual mode instead of wikitext mode (indeed the edit tags confirm that). Typing a # in visual mode will wrap it in <nowiki> to prevent it being converted to a list. I can't reproduce this in wiktiext mode.

Not really. At the time I used the beta function "new wikitext", which is wikitext but creates nowiki-tags like the visual editor does, but does not show them. That's the reason I stopped using the beta-function.

Okay, I see what happend. The "create page"-link opens the visual editor. Geez, Wikipedia never stops surprising me.
