It has an 18 year history, the majority of which I am very familiar with. I could write hundreds of articles, if only it weren't so tedius to do certain things, which is what I mean by 'authoring environment'.

References is the biggest problem. I can source references fine, I can (in my head) know perfectly where they should go. I can write the actual reference list. But marking that all up in any wiki code I've come across is just dreadful.
I'm not sure how you are trying to do it, but on this Wikia page all that is needed is the following code:

:
<ref name="IGN.com">[http://uk.games.ign.com/articles/122/1222894p1.html '''IGN.com:''' ''The Near-Death, Rebirth, and Future of Oddworld'']</ref>
Which to me seems as easy as it is going to get. It turns it into the little [1] thingy and automatically lists all references at the bottom of the page.

How exactly are you trying to do it?
