This is not a solution that you maybe looking for but here goes. The
Eclipse IDE has a wikipedia Plugin that will pert much let you download
change and upload.. There is much more to to this plugin. I figured I
would let you be aware of it.

Naturally the Eclipse link is:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads

The plugin link is here (Plog4U):
