If someone will allow me to send them an extension for WikiMedia I will write one. It shouldn't be complex at all, so code review will be trivial. Please let me know! I'm sure other people here are interested to know who to go to to get things like this done. It would be cool to write an extension to support an embedded Haskell prompt (e.g. tryhaskell.org abd http://haskell.quplo.com/) inside the wiki. It's possible to extend the parser to support custom token types[1], so this could be a neat addition. For instance, the _Blow your mind_ article is full of examples, you can link to them with tryhaskell.org[3], but that's not as cool, why not make these runnable inside the page? :-) If tryhaskell.org ever goes down the script can just fall back to displaying code.
The recently-formed haskell.org[1] committee is responsible for the server. We currently only use plugins distributed with debian by default + very small modifications for backwards compatibility (the <hask> and <haskell> tags). The reasoning is that those will be updated automatically when the server is upgraded. I think adding new extensions would be possible if they are considered useful enough. Running Haskell code has some security implications, so that'll require a good argument for why it's safe. [1]: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell.org_committee
