Plan B: I cut and paste the page back and forth with my own text editor. Word2Wiki http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLD... __US215&q=Word2Wiki seems effective as a macro to prep Word documents for pasting into MediaWiki articles.
So on the one hand, I'm also looking for a WYSIWYG Wiki editor INSIDE my Wiki. Yet, I use Google spell check whenever I'm about to [Save] a MediaWiki page anyway ... wait a minute: maybe Google or some other free toolbar maker can include a Wiki-check along with spell-check? In other words, if we think outside the box ... hello, Google?!?
My Wiki NEEDS copious links and they're not going to be the simple [[link name]] - so a WYSIWYG Wiki would be nice, very nice. Anything to avoid hand-coding, especially for admins, let alone non-coding users!
