I agree. The latest version that I use (2.6.4) has a (C) menu button that

First, that's not a url (in such case it would use file://). For the

Hello Jan,
Here is what the user entered, and it did work except not with Firefox:

MOving over to the other side of the argument for a moment, it seems to me
that the building could be built one brick at a time. E.g., get the basic
features in place first, such as bolding, underscoring, links, and
god-forbid tables - and then move on from there. Worry only about the

Well, yes and no. Early word processors were quite buggy, and they had to
produce postscript to send to a laser printer, postscript that no one ever had
to edit in. And what you saw was not always what you got, but improvements
were made and today we expect word processors to work flawlessly a
Since a plethora of intelligent people with no desire to learn WikiCode
can now add content, the quality of posts has been in line with the
adoption of wiki use by these people. Thus one would say it has gone up.
In the beginning there were some hard core users that learned WikiCode,

I'd be amazed to see a great WYSIWYG editor for any wiki, even among commercial
packages. I evaluated Atlassian's very popular "Confluence" wiki awhile back,
and it took me all of 5 minutes to find several bugs in the editor. Likewise
for the wiki in SharePoint 2007, which was far less powerful

That really is the kicker isn't it? For longtime users of MW, there's

Becuase Mediawiki was designed as a replacement for hand coding or learning
html, not as a replacement for Word or WordPerfect.

Our experience has been that once the FCKeditor was installed on our 60+ wikis
usage went up. Our users are mostly intermittent, using a wiki infrequently,
so learning and retaining wikitext is not something we can take for granted.
And I agree if it were just bold, italics, etc, everything wo

Take a look at what Wikipedia is currently doing with the vector skin. I'm
having no problems, and, really, asking people to do their own markup is
not something I see as a great issue. It requries people to engage
