Wiki markup is a lot less complex than HTML, and the basic controls (bold, underline, bullets, etc.) are available in the editor.
If you want to do some fancy HTML, and you're on a PC, grab a copy of Visual Studio Express; these have HTML editors with autocomplete and syntax validation. There's also Visual Studio Code, which is cross-platform, but I haven't played with it yet so I don't know how solid it is. I wouldn't recommend something like Dreamweaver, because the HTML it generates might cause MediaWiki to throw a fit.
Ah while you're around, maybe you might be able to help me with this one ?
I changed my template not long ago and we noticed that all the people using the said template (Carina Lir, P'azih Tia, D'lyhhia Lhuil, etc.) don't appear in the characters list. I don't manage to find where we messed up so it happened, maybe you can tell us what we did wrong ?
