!completely unofficial:
I wanted to share this StarOffice/OpenOffice export extension with y'all -- I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. (Well, because I never use it myself, I guess; I'm fluent in wikicode, so I don't need it, but I had it installed at my workplace, so I know it works.)
You write a document in OpenOffice, then use the newly added "export" option in the menu to, well, import it to the wiki (you only need to enter your Fanlore name&password in the export popup), where it'll create a page named after the document title, and convert the text to wiki-markup for you.
Mind you, pictures and tables don't get converted, and you'll have to insert templates etc; so it doesn't work for anything fancy. But maybe it's a start for the wiki-phobic who just want to get some info on there without dealing with the wiki editing window.
