 Re: arabic wikipedia
In the arabic wikipedia with Mozilla it's terribly difficult to do this: you first have to type the closing brackets, then the word and the opening brackets (at the moment I type in a text editor first and then copy text over in the edit box).
But I am not sure, if this is a bug, because the people on the hebrew wikipedia seem to be able to edit without problems.
I came to the German wikipedia one and a half year ago when it had about 1000 badly written articles (now it's 50000).

 Wikipedia:Tikanga Wikipedia - Wikipedia
Some articles do have such expressions, created before this part of the Tikanga was written; for dates earlier than 2000, you may edit them to conform next time they are edited.
Please make a page to warn users not to copy things from other places without asking the author.
From 2000 onwards, we may eventually get enough material to make use of such expressions, so they can remain.

 How does one edit a page - Wikipedia
It is often more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite text editor, edit and spell check there, and then paste back into the browser to preview.
This will bring you to a page with a text box containing the text of that Wiki page.

 Wikibooks:Staff lounge - Wikibooks
One advantage I've found to writing as a wikibook is that I can copy material from the wikipedia to help me. Though I am writing lots of new material, some of the annoying/well known details don't get in my way (e.g., who can get excited about writing the mathematical definition of a total order?).
You can probably use a macro to do the conversion for you, or export to html then do a search and replace then manual edit, or export to a text file then modify, etc. I would suggest first focusing on the content, then worry about the formatting once the book is done.
The real question here is what boilerplate request-letters to provide contributors to ensure we find out (1) whether they mind their content being edited, (2) whether they want attribution, or want no connection at all with such edited content, (3) whether any changes (on their end) to slowly-changing content can be propagated to WM projects...
