Hi Kate,
I'm sorry to hear about this problem. We actually had some recent improvements to the TinyMCE code that may fix the problems some of you're seeing - could you make sure that you're using the latest version of the code?
There's no question that TinyMCE is not perfect with wikitext, and it probably never will be. I'm wondering about that specific wikitext, though - why do you have a "<br>" in the middle of it? That seems to be what causes the problem, at least when I try it.
Also, if you see an error message again, it would be great if you could send me the full wikitext of the page where it happens.

Hi Yaron and Duncan,
after having had the opportunity to test TinyMCE on a few existing pages, I'm now sad to report that I've had to disable it again, since it "wrecked" to many of the existing formatting sets.
It espicially had problems with code like:
<sup>[[#top|[zum Seitenanfang]]]<br></sup>
when it followed bullet-lists
Also I very often got error messages when I tried to safe pages (something with "loop" in it)...
I really hope you'll be able to fix those problems very soon.

Hi Yaron and Duncan,
thank you for this extension! I've just installed it on my wiki and am simply thrilled with how fast I now have a WYSIYWYG-editor up and running!
And the best: it's running side-by-side with the "original" editor-interface, so all those who do not want to change over don't have to.

Hi everyone,
We're very pleased to announce the release of a new WYSIWYG extension for MediaWiki, "TinyMCE":
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE
As you can probably guess from the name, this extension lets you use TinyMCE, a popular (and open source) web-based WYSIWYG editor, to edit wiki pages and textarea fields within the PageForms extension.
We have created this extension based on one called "VisualEditor", which is part of the BlueSpice package:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor_(BlueSpice)
It is not related to the much-better-known extension also called VisualEditor, other than that they're both WYSIWYG editors.
The BlueSpice VisualEditor extension was developed by a team at the company Hallo Welt!. Duncan then worked to turn this into a true standalone extension, while I helped with some of the more MediaWiki-related aspects of it.
Why another WYSIWYG extension? This extension is not as good at editing wiki pages as VisualEditor (the better-known one). However, it has a number of advantages, most notably the fact that it's quite a bit easier to install, since it doesn't require any outside libraries or services - you just download the code, install it, and everything (hopefully) works. Another major advantage, for those who use the Page Forms extension, is that it's easily integrated into the textarea inputs of forms.
Feel free to try this out on your wikis, and let us know on the talk page if you run into any issues.
