I would love to try this extension, but it is still in experimental stage (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikiwyg) and the site is not released, or it is closed (http://www.wikiwyg.net/).
How do you thing about http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_(Official)? It is a kind of recommended as a working, actively supported plugin. Personally, I've thinkered about it when I looked for a proper WYSIWYG script, but it seems to me too 'heavy' and complex (http:// spacebug.com/IPWEditor_In-Place_WYSIWYG_Editor). And I didn't try it's compatibility. Now I look at its MediaWiki fork and it looks nice: http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/index.php/Sandbox If you like it, I could try to implement it here. These are the features from the dedicated site (http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/ index.php/Main_Page): The following features are currently available: Rich editing: instead of writing inside a plain text area, using Wikitext markup for the text structure and formatting, you can use visual tools, which reflect the final output. Easy table creation. Easy link creation, including automated search for internal articles. Easy image insertion, including automated search for uploaded image files. Templates handling: a template icon is displayed in the editor so they can be easily edited or inserted, without impacting in the editing interface. References are displayed as small icons, not disturbing the editing, making them easy to create and edit. Formulas are rendered inside the editor, making it easy to edit them with a mouse click. My preferences: the editor can be disabled on selected namespaces. It is possible to disable FCKeditor on specific articles with the __NORICHEDITOR__ magic word. The editor will produce Wikitext, not HTML. This is an important feature to ensure that the content created with FCKeditor can also be edited in a simple textarea by those who prefer Wikitext. Take it easy! This is a prototype and it is expected to present undesired behaviors if bugs are forced to happen. Feel free to use the discussion space in this page to talk about it.
