Using less wikitext is a best practice itself.

Generally speaking, it seems that the message is that one should avoid inline css, reduce number of columns/rows in tables, and use portable technologies.

In fact in one of wikia's repositories I found a tool they've designed that goes through all pages in a wiki and issues warnings about problems such as:


 * Inline styling


 * Huge images in pages


 * Unbalanced markup or broken wikitext

The biggest problem with wikitext is that there is no such thing as invalid wikitext, as even things that don't render properly are "valid".
