Maybe this was an intentional change, based on some upgrade or something? 

But, I used to be able to pick "WYSIWYG" editing while editing a wiki page, but now no longer seems to be an option. 

Was this intentional? Or has a "setup" or "configuration" bug occurred? 

I've tried from a few different browsers, and none seem to allow. 

Thanks for any info.

Meant to provide example link ... in case it has to do with certain types of pages ... but this is the one I was hoping to allow wysiwyg editing of the table:

Previously we had an extension that provided the WYSIWYG functionality.  However it was abandoned several versions of Mediawiki ago so I was unwilling to include it when we upgraded.

There are some 'newer' plugins to try and provide those features however they're all 'beta' so they weren't installed either(at least one of them appears set to join the Mediawiki core in a couple of versions).

One thing you can try is to login -> preferences -> editing at the bottom of that tab are a couple of check boxes to enable the wikis built in 'beta' WSYIWG editing features.  Right now that's probably your best bet.
