I've installed the FCKeditor extension on our wikis but its very buggy so I inform our users that if they want to stop using it they can set their preferences so they do not use it (and instead get the default Mediawiki wikitext editor) by going into the Misc tab in their preferences page and selecting "Rich text, disable globally".
The reason I offer FCKeditor is because it makes tasks such as creating tables simple and easy. My hope is the bugs, of which there are many, are fixed soon. FCKeditor has come out with a new version and I am anxiously awaiting the Mediawiki extension of the FCKeditor to include the new version, which it currently does not.
If anyone has a better recommendation than FCKeditor for a wysiwyg editor, please let us know. I also checked out Wikiwyg and found it wanting.

Hi All,
I want to use any easy to install WYSIWYG editor in my mediawiki. I found Wikiwyg extension but it seems to be complicated to install. Any one has any idea of another such extension or any one can help me in installing Wikiwyg extension.
Thanks
Mehnaz
