Thiemo Kreuz 1f4880181e Don't allow parameter names that break the wikitext syntax
Any of these characters results in bad wikitext, when we accept
it in a template parameter name.

Instead of displaying an error message we simply block the
button, as long as the input is not a valid parameter name.
Coming up with a message is not really worth it, I would
argue. Users typically don't have a reason to use any of these
characters. This is super rare. And even if, the behavior of
the widget is not hard to understand, I believe.

The same is done in ve.ui.MWParameterSearchWidget, a little
hidden in the .addResults() method.

Not yet approved by UX. Can be done in demo time.

VisualEditor

VisualEditor provides a visual editor for wiki pages. It is written in JavaScript and runs in a web browser.

It uses the Parsoid parser to convert wikitext documents to annotated HTML which the VisualEditor is able to load, modify and emit back to Parsoid at which point it is converted back into wikitext.

For more information about these projects, check out the VisualEditor and Parsoid pages on mediawiki.
