Hi Manu
The TinyMCE extension is a WYSIWIG editor on WikiText.
It sounds like you tried quite an early version so hopefully things have
improved a lot since then! Please do try again as it is meant to process
WikiText and save in WikiText. There is also now some more detail on the
extension page on how to install, configure and use it.
You may still come across the odd problem as WikiText can have a few
quirks 😉 If you do come across behaviour that isn't what you expect, then
please do let us have the details (eg version numbers and the WikiText that
is causing the problem) and we will try to sort it out.
We really appreciate those who do try it as this allows us to keep
improving it.
Kind regards
Duncan

Hi Duncan, thank you for your reply.
I seem to remember I installed TinyMCE 1-2 years ago and it corrupted some
pages, in the sense that it saved them with plenty of html tags. Is it what
it does under the hood? Does it save pages as html? Or is it really a
WYSIWYG editor on top of WikiText?
I might be mistaken though: I remember having problems installing it but I
don't remember what problems exactly. I could certainly try again as long
as it doesn't save the pages as html.
Kind regards,
Manu

Hi Manu
You mike take a look at the TinyMCE extension
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE, which was derived
from that in Bluespice as an alternative to Visual Editor. It just
provides a WYSIWIG interface to Mediawiki using the popular TinyMCE
jvascript
editor.
It cohabits with the mediawiki editor and you can
easily switch
between them, disable TinyMCE on given pages or namespaces etc.
Kind regards, Duncan

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] The advantages of Wikitext
Hi everybody,
in the context of our neighborhood's MediaWiki installation (about 100
users) I'm dealing with a problem that probably many MW administrators
have faced before: for technical reasons (and my own limitations) I'm
not in a position to easily install the Visual Editor and I need to
help a very etherogenous group of people understand the philosophy and
the advantages of WikiText compared to what they are used to: Microsoft
Word or
similar.
I feel I might have to install Bluespice, as it seems to have a
WYSIWYG editor, but I also feel that would be giving up on the WYSIWYM
editor, which is a feature, not a bug.
I found a few texts on the matter, but they all seem to be a bit
outdated.
They also tend to make no mention about the
accessibility concerns
that somehow wikitext, among other things, tries to ameliorate.
Can anybody recommend some resources in this context?
Kind regards, Manu
