Oh, it's godawful; the format is a crime against all things structured. I use `parse-wiki-text-2` [0], which is a fork of `parse-wiki-text`, a Rust library by an author who has now disappeared into the wind. (Every day that I parse Wikipedia, I thank him for his contributions, wherever he may be.)
I wrote another Rust library [1] that wraps around `parse-wiki-text-2` that offers a simplified AST that takes care of matching tags for you. It's designed to be bound to WASM [2], which is how I'm pretty reliably parsing Wikitext for my web application. (The existing JS libraries aren't fantastic, if I'm being honest.)
