Many people who run MediaWiki wikis have expressed interest in having a Creole parser for their wikis, including Evan Podromou, one of the admins of WikiTravel. Tim Starling wrote:

So, I would like to ask, would anyone be interested in developing the alternative Creole parser for MediaWiki? The idea is that admins of MediaWiki wikis could decide when they set up a wiki whether they would prefer to use traditional MediaWiki markup or Creole. If anyone would be willing to write such a parser for us, we would greatly appreciate it.
We have created a page at http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/MediaWiki to be used for discussions of planning an implementation of Creole for MediaWiki.
