Frank:

Have you tried creating a page in HTML, then having one of us help
convert it to wiki syntax?

Aside from the learning value, there may be something you are trying
to convey that isn't (yet) conveyable in the wiki.  Then some of us
could help build the templates, etc., to do it the MediaWiki-way, and
the rest of the community would have access to the new functionality.
