I'm sure it can be done, but not easily.
Templates and complicated parts can easily be hidden. See <http://robotech.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sandbox&action=edit> for example to see what happens to the {{sandbox}} template. Wikia has been working on WYSIWYG for a long time now, and I hope the code that is available at http://trac.wikia-code.com/browser/wikia/branches/wysiwyg will be useful to Wikimedia in improving usability.
