Mike, in many cases I'd agree with you; however, with respect to wiki markup I'll differ.  Unlike some features where evangelizing is appropriate, I don't find it appropriate for wiki markup because:

  • There's a better alternative (for most users) ... the wysiwig editor, and
  • It's not a fundamental wiki function.  In other words, if you eliminated wiki markup you'd still have a recognizable wiki.  Contrast this with multi-user concurrent editing or page versioning, without which a wiki transforms into something else.

I'd suggest saving the evangelism for the fundamental wiki functions.
