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: 1) good highlighting 2) auto-completion, guessing the template parameters 3) 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.

Hi Steven! Thanks for the link, there are a lot of editors there. In particular Eclipse Plugin and WikipediaFS [2] are very interesting. they doesn't seem to have much features for the templates and parser functions but I can surely export they syntax highlighting options to build the editor with AceEditor or something similar.

Wikipediafs is completely abandoned, and uses screen scraping to perform edits. I wouldn't recommend anyone use that.

Looks like Eclipse plugin haven't been updated for long time as well... Considering the fact that there are wiki that implements a large part of logic with template and parser functions it's very strange that nobody writes a good editor.

Hi,
I'm using Emacs for mediawiki editing on a daily basis. mediawiki-mode has a number of cool features including syntax highlighting, snippets, quick moves, helpers for talk pages, ability to open, navigate and publish without leaving the editor… And as it's not an editor designed specifically for wikitext, you also have the extra benefit other modes such as javascript or css.
There is no contextual auto-completion, though; ie, completion is only based on what has already been typed before.
Best regards,

As the current maintainer of mediawiki-mode in Emacs, I'd love to add this feature, but I have no time to do so right now. Patches welcome!
Other features, though, may be easier to add. Feel free to let me know what features you would like.
Mark.
