I've read that usability is important for
MediaWiki. Why
don't integrate
wikitext syntax highlighting then? That will greatly improve
editing of
the pages. There is Extension:WikEd which has most of the work
implemented already.

I know that it should be possible to install the extension
separately.
But I remember that important extensions are sometimes
integrated into
MediaWiki.
There's also FCKeditor, but it cannot perform diffs, and
visual editing
is not always desirable (non-technical users like it, but I
personally
prefer to edit wikitext).
It just comes to me everytime I edit source PHP with
hightlighting, then
editing wikitext without highlighting :-(
