It's more of the latter - the articles are actually drafted and
reviewed on a separate MediaWiki instance (e.g.
http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/wiki/Multi-state_modeling_of_biomolecules
), then published in the journal, then on Wikipedia. For more details
on that, see
http://wikiambassador.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/03/28/publishing-scholarly-wikipedia/
.

When precisely do you intend to post the piece? We're working on a video about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_OA-ness
that should be ready in the next few days and may be a good fit for your post.
