Several options:

* Online, there is a newish syntax highlighter (no completion, etc.) that
is much better than WikiEd IMO:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Remember_the_dot/Syntax_highlighter

* On the desktop, there is a large number of options:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_editor_support. Based on my
experience as an OS X and Ubuntu user, I know the following text editors
support MediaWiki syntax well, though you need to configure them to do so:
Vim, Gedit, jEdit, TextMate, and Sublime Text 2 (the last isn't on the list
on-wiki, but it supports TextMate plugins). Some of these will also grab a
live article for you and let you edit it, though I wouldn't depend on that
being easy to set up.
