Does any text editor (such as Notepad++) syntax highlight MediaWiki code? This might not be strictly programming related though the Wiki script is a language by itself.
I think you want Wikipedia:Text editor support - How to set up specific editors for Wikipedia editing.
At least 8 text editors support MediaWiki syntax highlighting:
GNU Emacs
Eclipse
Vedit
Vim
jEdit
Kate / KWrite
NoteTab. (I assume that "Wikipedia" syntax just means MediaWiki syntax.)
Mac OSX
SubEthaEdit
TextMate
There is also a MediaWiki JavaScript add-on called wikEd that does syntax highlighting inside the MediaWiki edit box.
I hate to say it, being an avid Vim user, but Emacs supports wiki markup.
Edit Hold on a second, there is syntax highlighting for Vim too
http://fvue.nl/wiki/MediaWiki_syntax_highlighting_with_Vim
YAY!
You may have a look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alex_Smotrov/ExtEdit
Alex also provides "userDefineLang.xml" -- a Notepad++ syntax highlight file.
Try out e-text editor, which is Windows only.

I've got an NSIS script that is a couple thousand lines and not properly indented making the script difficult to read. Is there a way to format NSIS script or at the minimum be able to indent the Ifs and Endifs sections? There's plenty of online script formatters for HTML, Javascript, XML, etc.
Notepad++ does an excellent job of supporting the NSI code conventions straight out of the box.
I've used EclipseNSIS for working with NSIS before; it at least uses syntax highlighting, which is nice.
Atom Editor is also really nice for NSIS, and it has some packages you can add on to make it easier to work on NSIS scripts.
I don't think I ever found anything to prettify or format the script, unfortunately, but that may now be a part of either Atom or EclipseNSIS, I'm not sure.

I will be writing a small grammar to parse a text file, the grammar can be a bit large so I want to read it with highlight.
I know it's a bit off-question but find this using google is very hard. What else place is better than ask to this to a lot of experient programmers.
Sort of. There's this answer for Emacs. Apple hosts a yacc syntax file for vim. Based on what's mentioned for this archive, Kate may also handle yacc, but I can't find a specific confirmation.
And yes, I'm mixing straight BNF with yacc. The pickings were slim enough that it seems like a reasonable leap, and it might not be too hard to hack the yacc-specific parts out of the syntax descriptions.
For BNF you could use IntelliJ from JetBrains with Grammar-Kit plugin.
EBNF support seems not included at the moment.
Here is another one: https://github.com/rochus-keller/EbnfStudio/blob/master/README.md.
It supports syntax highlighting, inline warnings, symbol navigation and cross-referencing. The grammar is automatically analyzed for syntax errors, missing non-terminals and left recursion while editing. The grammar can also be checked for LL(1) ambiguities and the effectiveness of conflict resolvers.

What is a good style guide for formatting documents, outlines and procedure descriptions using ASCII text only?
I am thinking of a set of rules for using capitalization, 'underlines" (with '-' or '=' on the line below), indentation, etc to help visually organize text into sections, subsections, etc.
Guide supported by vi would be especially nice.
Consider using Markdown or MultiMarkdown for formatting your plain-text documents. There is a vim Markdown syntax plugin available, and it's widely used on Stack Overflow and GitHub:
https://stackoverflow.com/editing-help
https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown
Beside Markdown and reStructuredText there exists also AsciiDoc, which is more powerful than Markdown: There are f.ex. plugins that define how you can write diagrams in ASCII Text.
AsciiDoc is less popular than Markdown, but after Github supports now AsciiDoc too it will get more popular.
All these three text formats also have vim plugins.

The main feature of Sublime Text 2 that makes it my editor of choice for programming (and anything else really) is multi-selection search and edit. It's like search-and-replace-on-steroids. Once you get used to, it's really hard to go back to not using it.
I did some research myself and couldn't find a single other editor that offers it as powerfully. Some even let you create several cursors but lack the searching bit (just found out that Notepad++ does that).
So I'd like to ask for this community's help: do you know of another programming editor that provide multi-selection search and editing in a similar level as Sublime does?
Cloud9 IDE does this.
Disclaimer: I work there.
vim seems to have support for that via plugins. See a related question on SO: Multiple selections in VIM
More recently jetBrains began adding "Sublime Text style multi selection" to their line of IDEs. I know IntelliJ and Pycharm already have it.
gedit 3 has a plugin which looks similar: http://codetree.com.au/projects/imitation/
After switching from Sublime Text 2 to gedit, I've written a plugin that's much closer to Sublime's version of multiple cursors than imitation. I've tested the plugin on versions 3.4 and 3.12. You can find it here:
https://github.com/jessecrossen/Gedit-MultiCursor
I don't think it's 100% perfect yet, so I'd be really glad to hear of any edge cases people run across so I can continue to improve it. I've also implemented something like gedit's Command-R functionality with this plugin.
Those were pretty much the only two features I missed from Sublime, but then again I don't tend to use the deep features of any editor, so as to preserve my independence ;). The quick-open functionality is not as good as Sublime's "Goto Anything", but on the other hand you get usable integration with remote file systems mounted on FUSE, gvfs or similar, whereas Sublime tends to be slow because it's recursively indexing every file.

Are there any IDE's or editors that support Mercury besides emacs?
Distributed with Mercury is a syntax highlighting file for vim.
This is the only official editor support. See the vim directory in the compiler's source distribution.
People say that prolog-mode for Emacs also supports Mercury, I tried this and discovered that it didn't handle Mercury specific syntax at all, and therefore was no better than using any other emacs mode.
Personally I use vim with syntax highlighting.
Codeblocks could probably be made to work with Mercury. It doesn't directly support syntax highlighting for this language but you can create a custom lexer for it. Getting codeblocks' build system to work with the mmc compiler is just a matter of tweaking the 'advanced options' under Compiler and debugger settings.
We have recently released a simple plugin for eclipse to help editing Mercury files and using along Java projects. Please take a look at it if you have Mercury under Linux and meets your requirements. Any feedback is welcome. :)
