Anyone know where i can get something similar to this wiki's editor (http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Radio_Stations?action=edit) for my mediawiki wiki?
CodeMirror and WikEd can both do that.
Remember the dot/Syntax highlighter is similar.

Mediawiki markup can be very hard to understand, especially in old and complex templates in Wikipedia projects. A prettifier/beautifier would help, but I can't find any. Does anything like this exist?
The best you can have is syntax highlight (check Extension:CodeMirror for instance). Problem with mediawiki syntax is that line feeds are interpreted and may change the layout of the rendering.
I use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd which can be copied to other wikis
I like this inline text editor used at Quora:

However, I was unable to identify this one. Does anybody recognize this editor?

You could pull off something like that using CodeMirror It's very flexible and does wonderful code highlighting. I've implemented it as a template editor built into a CMS I work on. It was even pretty easy getting it to handle some of the special syntax specific to our CMS.
It's most likely proprietary.
Perhaps TinyMCE would be a better solution for you?
Can anybody point me in the right direction as to how to
implement the editor that opens up when I try to post an answer or type a new question ?
Also when displaying the replies how is the feature with syntax highlighting for the code snippets implemented ?
As far as I know, the Javascript based editor is a heavily modified version of WMD Markdown Editor.
Moving on to your second question. What server side language are you using? For example, in PHP Geshi is a popluar syntax highlighter. Although I personally have not worked with it.
Try the Editor control that comes with AJAX Control Tool kit
I have a large HTML file, and it looks like some tags are not closed. It's hard to find it. I am using VIM as the editor.
Is there any good way to find it?
You can validate your html using http://validator.w3.org/
Just make sure you specify the DOCTYPE correctly and it'll find anything that is invalid.
I assume you are on running Linux?! If so, you could try Eclipse
It is a complete IDE, which will help you in many cases and make programming a lot more efficient
Just use Notepad++. It is free and light weight code editor, and I already found many unclosed tags in my html with it...
HTML Validator (extension for Firefox) has helped me in the past. You need to load the page in the browser to find the errors.
If you can put you code online you could try Dr. Watson.
Another validator to try is the CSE HTML Validator. The online version is here:

In the past, I used to work with DW4 and liked the way it allows you to visually write HTML pages.
Can anyone suggest a free alternative for Windows?
Visual Studio does HTML editing and it's not bad. http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
If you don't mind using something experimental, why not try a nightly of BlueGriffon?
www.bluegriffon.org/
Try Bluefish and KompoZer from the World of FOSS..:)
Try this. Was ok for me before a got CS4.
