Extension:CodeMirror. Might need to click on the button with icon to toggle syntax highlighting on/off.

I think we should have colored wikitext so that it is easier to understand.

Try Extension:WikEd

Or also Extension:CodeMirror, although it can get really slow for large pages.

Yes, but whenever I try to integrate wikitext into my source userpages, it doesn't color itself.

Do you want to see coloured wikitext in the editor or on the rendered pages?

For rendered pages, see Extension:SyntaxHighlight, although a wikitext specific lexer is not available but html and xml can be used instead.

I want to see it in the editor.

So, Extension:CodeMirror doesn't work? You might need to click on the button with icon  to toggle syntax highlighting on/off.

No, I mean that the colored wikitext should be in the source editor in documentations of this wiki.

Doesn't Extension:CodeMirror&action=edit show as "colored wikitext"?

No...

Did you "click on the button with icon to toggle syntax highlighting on/off"?

For the record by "colored wikitext", I mean highlighting as shown in File:Pride and codemirror.png.

There isn't a button...

And yes, I do want that 'colored wikitext'.

There appears to be a problem at your end then.

Can you share a screenshot of the wikieditor toolbar that shows up on your device?

Oh, found it. It was in three bars. Didn't look there. Thanks!

Hey, qwerty! :) Didn't expect to see you here lol, This is for questions about the media wiki software, not suggestions. Though I see what you are asking for, you want to see formatting in the editor itself. Though I don't think it is possible at the moment (don't quote me on that) VisualEditor is the closest to suggestion.
