You're right, the way we currently do references results in a complete mess. It requires some development work to make any progress, I think

easily.
Some kind of syntax highlighting might be good (we obviously have syntax highlighting extensions already installed, the trick now is just making it work in the edit window). Syntax folding might be a nice addition too, but I've never seen that in a working web interface. WYSIWYG is obviously the ultimate goal, but progress on that has been understandably slow. There are some interesting helpful editing extensions available, maybe some of them need to be evaluated and good cross-platform features could be folded into MediaWiki's core eventually.
