MathJax [1] is now enabled site-wide as an opt-in preference. You can now see beautifully rendered, accessible, copy&pasteable and standard-compliant (MathML) formulas on Wikipedia, replacing the old TeX-rendered PNGs.
To enable MathJax on Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia project, go to your preferences > Appearance > Math and select "MathJax (experimental; best for most browsers)". A big thanks to the MathJax developers and all the folks who helped deploy it. [2]

Thanks Dario. There are definitely still bugs in this experimental rendering mode, so please report issues in Bugzilla against the Math component:

I just turned it on. OMG, it's beautiful! The math looks like math! OK, it's slow and I just found a couple bugs, but I'm still very pleased to see beautiful math typesetting on Wikipedia.
Thanks, Dario, and thanks to everyone who put this together. 10³ grazie!
