{{Template

}}

Things like that line up in a monospace font. They don't line up in a
non-monospace font, which looks ugly. (Not that people should be spending time
lining up equals signs, but that's beside the point.)

The reality is that MediaWiki wikis are a mix of both code (template, table,
etc.) and non-code (prose, etc.). Every code text editor I've ever used has the
default as a monospace font because it makes things easier when dealing with
code.

Both Opera and Firefox default to a monospace font. And you can just as easily
change Safari's preferences to determine which fixed-width font it uses if
Courier isn't your bag.

If there is a clamoring for a textareas to be non-monospace, make a gadget so
that Opera, Firefox, and Safari users can enable the option if they'd like to.
But for MediaWiki's purposes, I think achieving consistency here is best.
Recommend re-closing as RESOLVED.
