Does any text editor (such as Notepad++) syntax highlight MediaWiki code? This might not be strictly programming related though the Wiki script is a language by itself.

Wikipedia has an extensive and updated list of the possible editor you can use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_editor_support – JCalcines May 31 '17 at 09:04

I think you want Wikipedia:Text editor support - How to set up specific editors for Wikipedia editing.
At least 8 text editors support MediaWiki syntax highlighting:
- GNU Emacs
- Eclipse
- Vedit
- Vim
- jEdit
- Kate / KWrite
- NoteTab. (I assume that "Wikipedia" syntax just means MediaWiki syntax.)
Mac OSX
- SubEthaEdit
- TextMate
There is also a MediaWiki JavaScript add-on called wikEd that does syntax highlighting inside the MediaWiki edit box.

I hate to say it, being an avid Vim user, but Emacs supports wiki markup.
Edit Hold on a second, there is syntax highlighting for Vim too

1I had to Google "Vim+mediawiki+highlighting" to ensure I don't find a reason to switch to Emacs :P – Aiden Bell Jun 13 '09 at 16:00

You may have a look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alex_Smotrov/ExtEdit
Alex also provides "userDefineLang.xml" -- a Notepad++ syntax highlight file.

Try out e-text editor, which is Windows only.
