You don't trust wikipedians ?
When it comes to design, no. Wiki tends to develop very chaotically
(just look at the many different ways we disambiguate pages), and I
would like to see more standards, and perhaps templates, long before new
formatting tricks.
But, just with basic features, it is possible to
create fully unreadable
articles ;o)
Indeed. That's why we don't need more.
I preview the answer but... can't we add features
for one wikipedia in
particular (french one for exemple) if all those wikipedians agree ?
No way, all Wikipedias run on the same codebase. But you can try to
convince other people than myself to support your syntax. I think it's a
bad idea.
