Indeed, you may want to do all of the editing externally, only copying the text to the Wikipedia edit box when you want to preview the wiki markup.
Be sure that if you save into an external editor, that you re-type your apostrophes and quotation marks when you paste back into the Wiki space, some editors' special characters show up as weird characters on Wiki.
You may be able to do this automatically in a word processor by saving as plain text (no formatting), closing the file, and then opening the plain text (*.txt) file to copy and paste.
Better yet, use a true text editor, not a word processor. That is, use Notepad, not Word.
