Puggle is an in-development external editor/parser for MediaWiki content. The motivation for this editor is to have an editor that "deeply" understands MediaWiki and can suggest fixes, and offer refactoring. It's a plugin for the JetBrains' suite of tools (IntelliJ, PHPStorm, etc), there's a free "community edition" of IntelliJ online, although any version will work.
