I've flown on Wizz Air from Schengen to UK and remember there was a mandatory passport check for non-EU citizens, which had to be done at the check-in desk.

Is there also a mandatory passport check on Schengen and internal flights?

The question is important for planning tight connections on two bookings.

(See the related Ryanair question Flying with Ryanair as a non-EU citizen for what these kinds of passport checks look like.)

The Wizzair website states (under "Online check-in" -> "Conditions"):

Non EU/EEA passengers must proceed to the Wizz Air check-in desk for document check before proceeding through security to departure. Failure to do so may result in travel being denied.

No exception is mentioned for intra-Schengen flights.

From my recent experience flying as a non-EU citizen with WizzAir from and to Schengen Area, documents check is required only when entering the Schengen Area. When flying outwards, I made a couple attempts and each time was told that no check needs to be done.
