Hi Duncan, thank you for your reply. I seem to remember I installed TinyMCE 1-2 years ago and it corrupted some pages, in the sense that it saved them with plenty of html tags. Is it what it does under the hood? Does it save pages as html? Or is it really a WYSIWYG editor on top of WikiText?
I might be mistaken though: I remember having problems installing it but I don't remember what problems exactly. I could certainly try again as long as it doesn't save the pages as html.
