Good WYSIWYG editor for mediawiki 1.18
I found a good looking WYSIWYG mediawiki editor called extension:WYSIWYG here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WYSIWYG
Unfortunately, this version is not supported on mediawiki version 1.18 yet. I tested it myself; it really does not work on 1.18.
In the extension’s discussions I found that someone has modified it and posted it to: http://wiki.linuxmatter.com/index.php/File:WYSIWYG.zip
I have tested it. It works fine with version 1.18

didnt work for me . what all steps did you follow for the installation? did you add the $wgGroupPermissions etc? When I added the require_once line in to the localsetting.php, the wiki screen wouldnt even open up.

This what i added to the Localsetting.php file
require_once(“$IP/extensions/WYSIWYG/WYSIWYG.php”);

I followed the instructions on :
http://www.smwplus.com/index.php/Help:Installing_the_WYSIWYG_extension_manually_on_top_of_MediaWiki_%28v_1.16.x%29_1.7.0
and yes, I did grant all users access by adding:
$wgGroupPermissions[‘*’][‘wysiwyg’]=true;

Did you use the IE or firefox? DId you see a blank white screen when you tried to access the Media 1.18 screen ?

I used both IE 9 and FF. In my installation the editor works fine. I suggest try some other editor. There must be some dependency which is making your editor not work.
