Bold text Go Wikipedia!

Is there nothing better?

Is this dreadful markup-language editor the only way to write Wikipedia articles? Are there third-party tools that let people work in a civilized way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyon Steve (talk • contribs) 23:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I concur, this wiki markup-language can be daunting for new and unregistered users (speaking from experience). Why isn't there an option to edit a page in it's final display form? I wouldn't think this would be hard to implement and it would encourage a lot of inexperienced user to contribute. --Ryk V (talk) 11:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I think Wiki commands are

• hard
• confusing
  • why not use copy and paste from word?
• time consuming!

--LauraFinch11 (talk) 14:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I kind of agree, but it'll be nice to be able to

• Edit bad grammar
• Correct spelling
• Do other stuff
