Is there an Emacs major mode for editing "live" Wiki pages --- something that
works with Wikis that aren't "local" and that aren't being served by Emacs
itself?
This seems like a question that I should be able to figure out for myself, but
after looking through the online Emacs-for-Wiki materials that I could find
(and there is a lot!) I still came up short. I found modes that know about
Wiki markup, and modes for working on local Wikis, and modes for turning Emacs
into a Wiki server itself --- but nothing that claimed to be able to edit pages
that live on remote Wiki servers.
I'm just now getting started with Wikis, and I'm thinking about setting up a
Wiki for collaboration within my research group. But we would really like to
edit Wiki pages in a way that doesn't suck.
Thank you for any pointers!
Eric.

A quick way is to use Emacs with w3m using emacsclient.
First you have to set the EDITOR environment variable to emacsclient
and to call the `server-start' Emacs function.
Then browse the wiki with w3m and, when you edit a page, it will
create a buffer in your emacs session where you can edit the page.

`simple-wiki-edit-mode' works with oddmuse <http://www.oddmuse.org/>
wikis (e.g. the wiki at <http://www.emacswiki.org/>). See
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SimpleWikiEditMode
The file simple-wiki.el also comes with major modes for mediawiki
<http://www.mediawiki.org/>, phpwiki <http://www.phpwiki.org/> and
jspwiki <http://www.jspwiki.org/> but you have to use it in conjunction
with a browser that lets you use an external editor for text areas
(e.g. firefox with the mozex extension or w3m).
