viola!  this is exactly what i am trying to say. why cant the wiki page
have these tools so we dont need to download the extension?  In the
world of WYSISYG scripting/tagging/mark-up or however you call it just
dont work anymore.  like when we choose a template, why do we need to
see those mark-ups when you can hide them?

Mediawiki has these tags built-in. Edit a page on http://en.wikipedia.org and look at the top of the editor. I think it's only a matter of time before Moinwiki catches up.

Hopefully they will go one step better than that and provide the option of using a full WYSIWYG editor (for those who want to). This is discussed in the case of wikipedia here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG_editor . For anyone who hasn't seen a 'rich' editor inside a browser, the FCKEditor demo at http://www.fckeditor.net/demo/default.html is a good example of what can be done now -- the editor that opens on that page is live, not a screenshot.
