I have thought about WYSIWYG editor for Wikipedia and found it technically impossible. The main and key problem of WYSIWIG are templates. You have to understand that templates are not single element of Wikipedia syntax, they are integral part of page markup. You do not insert "infobox template", you insert infobox *itself*, and from what I heard the templates were the main concern of many editors who were scared of wikitext.
Now think of how many templates are there in Wikipedia, how frequently they are changed and how much time it would take to implement their editing. --vvv _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
