I requested this a liiiiiitle while ago on Krakiipedia, but I figured I'd repeat the request here where people could see it and act on it.
"The editing bar [on the wiki] has a link to insert math equations, but the <math> tag to parse TeX doesn't seem to actually be implemented. I'd gladly go through and TeX up the more mechanical articles if this were enabled. (see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Enable_TeX) PFLATS 18:57, 22 June 2010 (EDT)"
I'm sure I'm not the only person around who can do TeX, and it'd really make a lot of the equations on gswiki more readable.

Yup. Would be nice.
For those who haven't seen TeX before, I threw this together to explain the Celerity formula on the PC. Didn't bother sharing it here because you can't inline images on these boards:

That reads a lot more nicely than:
(((original_cost - 30 - (1 per rank of Elemental Lore: Air)) * percentage_reduction) / 100), where percentage_reduction = (50 - (0.5 per known Major Elemental spell))

$+\infty$ to this request.
TeX is amazing for most any kind of document, but formatting equations is certainly among its perks. Here's some fancy-looking stuff: http://tinyurl.com/daid-phd
