Hello, are there any plugins that might make a wiki page more user friendly? Easier to use as in making pages and editing them as well as searching through it.

You can make a page in a wiki. At first you should choose a suitable topic. Then you can make a page about that topic. But make sure that your page is carrying some proper references. After publishing your page anyone can see it on the search box easily.

That's not what I meant, probably my fault for not explaining it better, since I'm pretty tired, so I'm sorry about that.

What I meant is, are there any plugins that could make the wiki user interface and editing system more pleasing and easy for new people to use?

Like looking at fandom.com, when making a page and editing it, it is a very easy and pleasing thing to do, so I was wondering if there are any plugins which could imitate the same feeling.

You should have the Visual Editor already installed, if not then it is available there: VisualEditor

If you do install the extension (Because it is missing on your installation), make sure to unzip the file in the /extension directory and then validate the file via localsettings.php, then update your site either via update.php (Under /maintenance) or by "re-installing" Mediawiki, I don't know how to explain it, but that won't actually re-install Mediawiki, it will just update it.

Oh so its just VisualEditor that makes editing more pleasant and easy for people?
