Hi Manu You mike take a look at the TinyMCE extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE, which was derived from that in Bluespice as an alternative to Visual Editor. It just provides a WYSIWIG interface to Mediawiki using the popular TinyMCE jvascript editor. It cohabits with the mediawiki editor and you can easily switch between them, disable TinyMCE on given pages or namespaces etc.

I feel I might have to install Bluespice, as it seems to have a WYSIWYG editor, but I also feel that would be giving up on the WYSIWYM editor, which is a feature, not a bug. I found a few texts on the matter, but they all seem to be a bit outdated. They also tend to make no mention about the accessibility concerns that somehow wikitext, among other things, tries to ameliorate. Can anybody recommend some resources in this context?
