If you are after doing something when those functions are called, and you have a newish version of MediaWiki, you can use hooks, which as the name suggests, cause a function (or functions) to be run when certain actions are performed. The actual functions will be those called when valid POST data is detected following the edit form submission; these should, if I remember correctly, be in Article.php...
As to parsing, it depends. The text undergoes a pre-parse before it is saved, which embeds SUBSTed templates, signatures, etc. and is then stored as wikitext within the database. When it is retrieved from the database for display, the Parser object is used once more, and turns it all into XHTML, then passes it to a few more functions (mostly to tidy things up) before dumping it on the browser.
You might consider searching on http://meta.wikimedia.org and http://www.mediawiki.org for more information; the code for MediaWiki also contains some comments, and I know the MediaWiki.org web site contains a link to auto-generated documentation for developers.

Dear all,
I am trying to locate which functions get called when a user clicks save/preview buttons when in the edit mode?. I also am trying to figure out where and when the text in the edit box gets parsed. Appreciate any help.
