The only really complex part of wikitext are the templates - nested, sometimes really weird subst and so on. I remember reading "Advanced Templates" at meta and have the feeling I am reading something really cryptic - I am still not good at making complex templates. Tables, links, text formatting, images are easy to me (there were great guides like "Advanced tables" at meta back in v1.9.3..v1.10 when I've started to use MediaWiki). Of course it doesn't matter, because I am hardly a representative.
Indeed. I can only recommend that you spend more time with people who can't work computers very well. We also need as editors people who are experts in things that you are a dunce in but who are dunces in the computers that you are an expert in. There's a lot more people who can't work computers very well than who can.
