Description
As a Wikipedia editor I want to see highlighted wikisyntax while editing articles in sourcecode mode.
Further details:
wikEd is doing something similar -
(gadget enabled by 55,953 accounts as of April 2014)
Codeeditor exists but doesn't support wikitext. -
CodeMirror exists -

(gadget enabled by 3,228 accounts as of April 2014)
(improved version of Remember_the_dot's?)
- a fork of Extension:CodeEditor (This one is outdated, and was disabled 13. juli 2014)
This task is #20 in the
2015 Community Wishlist survey
This has also been
one of the top 20 requests of the technical wishes survey in de-wiki in 2015

Syntax highlighting is now live on Test Wiki as a beta feature:
We're testing it this week before we deploy it to live wikis, so feel free to take a look, and leave comments here:

The feature works at the 2003/default WikiEditor (the one without the javascript-coded toolbars filled with buttons as seen in later WikiEditors). I just have to:
Enable the Toolbar
Enable the "Syntax Highlighting" feature in the Beta Preference
Click the syntax highlighting button in the Toolbar
Disable the Toolbar without disabling the feature
I can enable or disable the feature without disabling it in the Toolbar. More at
I wonder whether a separate task is necessary.

i.e.
the super-task of

Good point. The feature is currently only available to logged-in users on some wikis, so it's only partially resolved.

Apparently I forgot to resolve this. The outstanding task about support of RTL wikis on standard editors can be dealt with outside of this. Support on RTL is available on the 2017 wikitext editor.
