I like MediaWiki IDE part in your proposal but I think that you have
to rather concentrate on different features:
* Improving the existing syntax highlighting schemas for MediaWiki
markup. I saw that several editors have highlighting but it's
incomplete
* Indentation. This is probably insolvable problem but without
indentation the templates look horrible
* Autocompletion
* Autocompletion of parser function parameters,
* Autocompletion of template parameters,
* Autocompletion of page names, template names, category names,
{{MAGIC WORDS}}, __OTHER MAGIC WORDS__ : there is a lot of stuff to
autocomplete!
* Renaming and replacing. Presently I use MassEditRegex extension but
it's a minimum! It can't even undo its changes!
* Brace detection. Something to ease this nightmare with single and
double brackets, double braces and triple braces.
