Hi Chad,
I agree it would be better to have this option as a default, however it's a question if it should be hardcoded in mediawiki, or if it should be an extension, which is preinstalled in mediawiki download package and can be disabled anytime if users wouldn't like it.
I mean, if it was hardcoded, would it be possible to turn it off / use the current way of config management which is more friendly for large mediawiki installations and has better security than gui?

The work I plan on doing plans to support multiple backends so you can put it in CSV files if you really feel bold.
In that case we wouldn't need to change anything, the standard version would use a file, and tweaked version would have a gui.
Flip that around, we'd like to have a config gui shipped by default. As long as you use a backend that utilizes something human-readable, there's no reason you couldn't also edit the file by hand.
