Unfortunately, wikipedia does not come with a WYSIWYG code editor. Saying that, the deployment I made was into an area where some people have not ever coded in HTML or wiki-markup, and there aren't many people that haven't picked it up in the space of about half a day. I'd be guessing it would take that long to pick up Openoffice.org Writer or MS Office Word if you have never used either application before. It is differrent, but it's not any more difficult. The editor comes with some buttons above the text entry box that markup the code that you highlight. Give it a go sometime. You can always edit a page on gentoo-wiki or wikipedia, and click on the preview button as many times as you like without it actually commiting to the database.
