The only really complex part of wikitext are the
templates - nested,
sometimes really weird subst and so on. I remember reading "Advanced
Templates" at meta and have the feeling I am reading something really
cryptic - I am still not good at making complex templates. Tables,
links, text formatting, images are easy to me (there were great guides
like "Advanced tables" at meta back in v1.9.3..v1.10 when I've started
to use MediaWiki). Of course it doesn't matter, because I am hardly a
representative.
Indeed. I can only recommend that you spend more time with people who
can't work computers very well. We also need as editors people who are
experts in things that you are a dunce in but who are dunces in the
computers that you are an expert in. There's a lot more people who
can't work computers very well than who can.
