Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
- add <sh> for <syntaxhighlight> (multi-line code)
- add <shi> for <syntaxhighlight inline> (single line code)
Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
- <syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight inline>, and <code><nowiki> are laborious to type, providing a poor experience for technical contributors trying to type code on wiki pages
- There's folks that go around patrolling the category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_with_syntax_highlighting_errors and putting pressure on folks to always add lang="abc" to <syntaxhighlight> tags, making the typical tag length even longer. So for example I find myself typing very long things like <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">.
Other
- Something people are already familiar with from Markdown, like triple backtick (```) and backtick (`), would risk false positives with existing code, and would require a much more complicated patch that fundamentally changes wikicode syntax
