Yes, that's your main problem in a small wiki. You also have to get people use to that idiotic wiki-markup (WHEN will we have a NORMAL WYSIWYG?????)
This is a vexed question. The technical reason is that MediaWiki markup doesn't have a specification - the specification is, quite literally, the PHP code in the parser.
There have been various attempts to write the specification out in EBNF format. However, this is actually mathematically *impossible*. So all such attempts at doing so have gotten to 90% and died.
Put it this way: liberate MediaWiki from the PHP parser code and the devs will worship you.
