To compare a particular syntax with over 60+ wiki engines, you can use the [wiki markup comparison tool|http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php] from [WikiMatrix].

!! Placeholder / Native Markup Block
When there is something advanced like tables, a placeholder will show up, so users will not be confused seeing more than one syntax. (optional for wiki developers)
{{{

}}}

__Conflicts with OLPC image tag.__

!! Images

Technically "transclusion", but sounds weird for end users. 

{{{
{{Image:Stuff.jpg}}
[[some link|{{Image:Stuff.jpg}}]]
}}}

The word Image could then be written in English or the language of that wiki.
