Quite a few libraries:

will
https://launchpad.net/mediawiki-el
do what I want? which, for a non-VC-backed implementation, would be
something like
1 utter keychord to create buffer with MW page contents from URI
2 whack away @ buffer (with usual emacs commands)
3 utter keychord which transparently utters MW API to preview my edit
4 loop 2-3, until
5 utter keychord which transparently utters MW API to save
It doesn't do a preview, but that sounds like it should be easy to add
with
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parse.
Adding that + the other things I mentioned sound like things that I
should add to the next release.
HTH,
