VDCEditorEx (or VDCEditor v0.1.4) is a temporary browser extension that transforms the standard edit field in MediaWiki-based projects into a feature-rich code editor, complete with syntax highlighting, line numbering, and additional enhancements.
Originally developed for the Valve Developer Community, it can be used across any MediaWiki-based platform.
