Even granted that en.wikipedia probably uses more complex markup and templates than we do, uptake of the visual editor (among new editors and otherwise) doesn't seem very high, and no one outside of the WMF seems very impressed by its current state of development.<br>

<br></div><div>I agree - the wiki can be hard to edit if you have never done this before. This is why I requested a visual editor (that is now used by Wikipedia) to be added. Unfortunately this requires an update to the version of MediaWiki that we use so is not a simple case of installing a plug-in. Hopefully it will be picked up sooner rather than later but in a volunteer based project patience is essential :-)<br>
