Hi everyone!
What tools exist to edit templates and other article that are rich with wiki markup? I mean not WYSIWYG editor but something like IDE for markup:
- good highlighting
- auto-completion, guessing the template parameters
- Dealing with curly brackets (at least showing where the closing bracket
is) 4) hings and auto-completion for parser functions
WikEd [1] is slightly better than the default editor but still... is there something else?

Several options:
* Online, there is a newish syntax highlighter (no completion, etc.) that is much better than WikiEd IMO: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Remember_the_dot/Syntax_highlighter
* On the desktop, there is a large number of options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_editor_support. Based on my experience as an OS X and Ubuntu user, I know the following text editors support MediaWiki syntax well, though you need to configure them to do so: Vim, Gedit, jEdit, TextMate, and Sublime Text 2 (the last isn't on the list on-wiki, but it supports TextMate plugins). Some of these will also grab a live article for you and let you edit it, though I wouldn't depend on that being easy to set up.
