Can I edit files without needing to code?

Is it possible to use Mediawiki for a company, where employees can edit MS word and Excel type of pages without ever needing to understand how to code? Like using a full WYSIWYG editor like in MS Word?

Is that possible? OR anyone who wanted to edit pages, add titles etc, they all need to understand some CODING in mediawiki?

Thank you.

Hello,

in generally it's a very simple wiki language :) With WikiEdtiro you can give your users a very good help to learn the syntax. If this all isn't what you want, then try to use VisualEditor:

An example you can see in each Wikipedia (just click "Edit" instead of "Edit source"). VisualEditor will show you a parsed page which you can edit with th WYSIWYG Editor. The installation takes a little bit more time and read, but it pays ;)
