thing that can be done so that when we click edit we see the Mediawiki

it being plain text?

Does anyone know of an extension which adds a footer in the same area, as

I've noticed Wikia has a nice WYSIWYG editor (FCKEditor, but its no longer

Any recommendations for the best Mediawiki WYSIWYG editor that works in
