Wedge formation is an essential part of MTW. You must use them with your cavalry and shock troops and drive them at the backs of your enemy whilst they are pinned by another one of your unit.
Don't use them frontally with the cavalry though unless your are charging archers.
After you've driven with your wedge, if the AI unit doesn't rout immediately, revert back to normal formation (or else you will lose a lot of units). However, that this is a rare occurance, only when you use a very weak flanker to wedge-charge, and the AI unit is very powerful.
Or if completely free, just click halt then re-charge back (only when as the flanker). You should do this with the spear "pinner" at front as well at their regular formation (just don't put them on wedge).
