Gnus comes with various so called washing functions. But even for
editing word-wrapping is important

I think the issue must be checked case by case. Editing wikipedia
articles is an interesting case. A mode for editing the Emacs wiki is
already available, but last time I tried (approx. 6 months ago) this
mode didn't work that good for wikipedia.org articles.
I know several people who are interested in using Emacs as an editor
for wikipedia.org. accessing the article over http isn't that
important - you can use Emacs as an external editor for webbrowsers -
but dealing with the articles' source texts is.
Such an article looks as follows
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park ):

[[de:Central Park]] [[sv:Central Park]]
'''Central Park''' is a very large [[park]] (843 acres = 3.4 kmĀ², a rectangle
of 2.5 miles/4 km by one-half mile/800 m) in [[Manhattan]], [[New York, New
York|New York]], [[New York]], [[United States]]. An oasis for Manhattanites
escaping from their [[skyscraper]]s, the park is well-known worldwide after its
appearance in many movies and television shows.
The park was designed by [[Frederick Law Olmsted]] and [[Calvert Vaux]], who
later created [[Brooklyn, New York|Brooklyn]]'s [[Prospect Park]]. While much
of the park looks natural, it is in fact highly landscaped. It contains several
artificial [[lake]]s, extensive [[walking track]]s, two [[ice-skating]] rinks,
a wildlife sanctuary, and [[pasture|grass]]y areas used for myriad [[sport]]ing
pursuits, as well as [[playground]]s for [[child]]ren. The park is a popular
oasis for migrating [[bird]]s, and thus is popular with [[bird watcher]]s. The
9.7 km road circling the park is popular with joggers, bicyclists and [[inline
skate]]rs, especially on weekends when automobile traffic is banned.
