Re: [MediaWiki] Markdown Syntax usage

I agree. The last thing I think we want when it comes down to maintaining
articles is having multiple syntaxes interweaved within the same article.
Heck, even if mixing syntaxes weren't allowed, having to switch between
using different markup languages when editing different articles would be
annoying - Both for regular users and new users.

I would be fine with converting to Markdown if needed, but whatever the
final syntax is, it needs to be consistent.
