Hi Manu
You mike take a look at the TinyMCE extension
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE, which was derived from that in Bluespice
as an alternative to Visual Editor. It just provides a WYSIWIG interface to Mediawiki
using the popular TinyMCE jvascript editor. It cohabits with the mediawiki editor and you
can easily switch between them, disable TinyMCE on given pages or namespaces etc.
Kind regards, Duncan

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] The advantages of Wikitext
Hi everybody,
in the context of our neighborhood's MediaWiki installation (about 100
users) I'm dealing with a problem that probably many MW administrators have faced
before: for technical reasons (and my own limitations) I'm not in a position to easily
install the Visual Editor and I need to help a very etherogenous group of people
understand the philosophy and the advantages of WikiText compared to what they are used
to: Microsoft Word or similar.
I feel I might have to install Bluespice, as it seems to have a WYSIWYG editor, but I also
feel that would be giving up on the WYSIWYM editor, which is a feature, not a bug.
I found a few texts on the matter, but they all seem to be a bit outdated.
They also tend to make no mention about the accessibility concerns that somehow wikitext,
among other things, tries to ameliorate.
Can anybody recommend some resources in this context?
Kind regards, Manu
