when modifying content on the codex, IE often would die.
this does not happen when using TinyMCE

it may be related to Speckie I am using - http://speckie.com/home/
but I am willing to sacrifice WYSIWYG option for spell check
is there a way to turn WYSIWYG option for codex pages?

the best way is to never ever use IE again like the rest of us.

Does media wiki have a WYSIWYG option?
You are the first to report this issue.

I prefer not to use virus called Chrome, unless it is on the phone and there is no alternative
editor in question is lousy even under FF.
IE works for me in 99% of the cases. 1% is when programmers are lazy and so used to do all the FF and now CH hacks even when it is not necessary.
in the past people were complaining about non-standard browsers, but now bow to "every-friday-a-new-standard-a-la-google-and-forget-about-last-week" without hesitation.

On the bright side :) - http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2012/04/30/continued-growth-for-internet-explorer-9-on-windows-7.aspx
IE on W7 is 4x-5x (US) against any other browser :)
Stats is weird thing

WikiText when you edit codex page.
I am probably first who uses spell check plug-in there. so I am not asking to fix it but trying avoid using the editor as it does zip for me.
