This could be very useful for our wiki, given the nature of our wiki-using community and the amount of jargon users sometimes encounter on wiki pages.
Ian -- can you look into whether it's usable with our wiki?

At first glance, it looks like it's compatible with our instance of MediaWiki.
In my personal opinion, this would get in the way of users who use the wiki for development rather than end-user support. There's no way to selectively turn it on/off for certain pages as far as I can tell.

Hm, yeah. Is it that the pop-ups would be annoying, or is there something else you have to circumnavigate while editing?

No, just the popups. That's the problem -- there's nothing you can do about whether a word is selectively included or not -- if it's in the vocab, it's gonna have a popup. (Once again, from what I can tell by glancing at the code.)
