Why edit in the page when you can edit outside it?
Wow. That comment is so backwards. I really wish we had more overlap between the dev community and the editing community.
Why would we want to turn a wiki into a big complicated hard-to-use app when we can simply edit inside the page? A wiki is just a bunch of pages, and a page is just a text file with a name and history. Dead simple. All of the complexity lies in rendering the page.... all of the complexity lies in learning what you can write in the text file. I can 100% write an article in notepad.exe, CTRL-V it in the edit window, and save. Why would I want a complicated app glued onto the side of the page, forcing me to do categories separately?
