The StandardWikitext extension standardizes wikitext after each page save. Use this extension to:

  • Fix messy wikitext
  • Fix some broken wikitext
  • Simplify regular expression search-and-replace
  • Simplify wikitext parsing by other tools
  • Eliminate OCD editing
  • End controversy over wikitext styles

This extension is inspired on JavaScript Standard Style. Enough of this madness!
