Granted, a frequent complaint among readers is how "cluttered" the articles look with wikilinks. Add in extra confusing things, and casual readers may get freaked out and leave.
Personally, I don't think changing the visual look of Wikipedia will help any.

How about going back to the good old big fat Edit button that used to be on the original C2 wiki implementation? And how about putting that button both at the top and and the bottom of the pages, and in the case of WP, beside each section header?
If the ability to edit a page is so central to a wiki, then maybe the button or link you click on to edit should be given more screen real estate.
