: How to get this fancy editor Wikipedia uses into our own MediaWiki installation Really, sorry, if this question seems as if I'd be too lazy to google, but I tried to find that out myself
Really, sorry, if this question seems as if I'd be too lazy to google, but I tried to find that out myself and failed:
What's the name of the extension for MediaWiki or whatever would I have to use to get this nice and fancy editor that Wikipedia uses into my own MediaWiki installation?
I already use the newest MediaWiki version (1.17.0) but still have these ugly and pretty useless buttons on top of my edit pages.

You can find a list of and source code for all the MediaWiki extensions used by Wikipedia here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version
WikiEditor is probably the one you're looking for.
The version of MediaWiki used by Wikipedia is 1.17wmf1, which I'm guessing stands for Wikimedia Foundation. They use a customised version of the software for their own purposes. I think all you can do is hope they include that new editor in a future release. Or else you could try and download the scripts that they're using and reverse engineer the pages, but that may break the license agreement.
