Some months ago the Wikipedia user known as Nageh made it known on the math
WikiProject talk page that there is some rigamarole that you can go through
(maybe it was just setting preferences a certain way and installing a certain
file?) so that you would always be using mathJax when you viewed Wikipedia
articles that have math tags.  I've been doing that since then.  It seems to
solve both the "baseline" problem and the problem of buffoonish-looking size
mismatches between text and stuff in math tags.

(By the way, a funny new (actually new) issue with texvc was just discovered. 
After I put in a feature request here some months ago, we acquired the ability
to use some archaic Greek letters (no longer used by the time of Plato,
Aristotle, etc., I think).  These are useful for writing about certain ancient
numeral systems, and I've started working on a draft to get incorporated into
an article on ancient mathematical astronomy.  It turns out that if you're not
using mathJax, then the use of those archaic letters causes all letters within
\text{} to get transliterated into Greek.  For now, \mathrm{} can be used to
work around that problem.  But the new archaic ("new archaic"?) letters work
fine when mathJax is used.)
