hi,
i've noted that the new haskellwiki has dropped syntax highlighting support for haskell code fragments. while i think that full highlighting might be overkill, at least different color markup of code and comments would certainly be nice.
investigating the options for syntax highlighting in mediawiki i found the following two extensions using GNU enscript:

I'm no fan of enscript. I tried it in the past and found it to be lacking.
http://www.milab.is.tsukuba.ac.jp/~bushuhui/index.php?title=Enhanced_syntax_...
where the second is an alteration of the first, with haskell support already added.
an alternative would be geshi (http://qbnz.com/highlighter/) for which a mediawiki plugin also exists (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GeSHiHighlight), but it says on the geshi site "GeSHi supports PHP5 and Windows". and i'm not clear whether they mean it _also_ supports those options or exclusively.
It works in linux with php4 I know this because my website uses it: http://codersbase.com/index.php/Geshi_haskell I haven't gotten around to sending a copy to the geshi devs. Feel free to hackup the version I have, replace my name in the comments, send it in the geshi devs or whatever :) I just hope someone finds it useful. It's probably a bit buggy. For one thing, I have a bug that prevents symbols from getting highlighted correctly. Thanks, Jason
