A Wikipedia Syntaxer either is someone who hasn't realised that [[TV Tropes]]... 'scuse me, TV Tropes, which uses a somewhat distant relative of PmWiki, has different syntax (aka codes or formatting) from [[Wikipedia]]... sigh... Wikipedia and the many other MediaWiki wikis; or is someone who has been spending his time updating both (literally, if he has two windows or tabs open) and has momentarily forgotten which one he's currently editing.
This means he mixes up the syntax, leaving a page full of broken Wicks (that look [[like this]] or [[other example|like this]]) and all manner of other formatting problems that either he or another troper must unpick and fix.
Not to be confused with a [[Wikipedia Updater]]... er... Wikipedia Updater, but the two may sometimes overlap. It's quite possible to go the other way and accidentally use TV Tropes syntax on a Media Wiki
 wiki too.
