Indeed there is such need. In fact MediaWiki template language itself
requires an IDE: WikEd is not enough.

Hello,
Having some fun with the scribunto possibilities, I also found some
drawbacks in the UX. Having to scroll to switching between the code
panel and the debug panel is prohibitive. Making a better web IDE is
possible, take a look at [1] for example: at one glance you have the
documentation (exercises specifications in the case of the previous
site), the code doing the fine job, the code testing it, the
debug/result console.
Now one may prefer to use it's favorite editor/IDE anyway, in which case
one may wonder how to proceed to get and install scribunto librairies in
order to test the code on the local box. That should be documented
somewhere, as well as how to make a git/mediawiki bridge to ease the
whole process. If such a documentation already exists, please point me
there.
Ok, that was my "thought of the day". :P
