[Wikia-l] Techs, I'd like a quick opinion on whether certain pre-processing when editing is likely to be doable

[sannse]

Another issue I think is important, is ease of reading in the edit
view.  This has got more and more complicated over the years, making
it harder and harder for newbies to simply click the edit tab, read,
and type.  The more special code you put in view, the more users who
won't edit for fear of braking something on an incomprehensible page.
