I use Emacs to edit wiki pages, see
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/EmacsPmWikiMode
and also see the link to PmWikiEdit in the 'See Also'-section.
Shamelss plug :-)
These days I press Ctrl-e in my browser (Opera) and the page pops up for
editing in the Emacs window. Then I edit it and when I'm done with the
changes I press C-c C-c in Emacs and the page is saved back to the
wiki-wiki.
