Many people who run MediaWiki wikis have expressed interest in having
a Creole parser for their wikis, including Evan Podromou, one of the
admins of WikiTravel. Tim Starling wrote:

I am personally not intending to implement any kind of WikiCreole
support in MediaWiki, but I would welcome such support if someone
implemented it and submitted it. I support the model of having an
alternative parser as an installation option, not the "easy edit"
model.

So, I would like to ask, would anyone be interested in developing the
alternative Creole parser for MediaWiki? The idea is that admins of
MediaWiki wikis could decide when they set up a wiki whether they
would prefer to use traditional MediaWiki markup or Creole. If anyone
would be willing to write such a parser for us, we would greatly
appreciate it.
We have created a page at
http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/MediaWiki to
be used for discussions of planning an implementation of Creole for
MediaWiki.
Best wishes,
