You and me both. It is kinda funny (for the lack of better word) how Wikipedia is kinda what I imagine hypertext/web was initially envisioned to be (except for its centralized nature). But it lives another layer above the web, being a web-app for handling hypertext with it's own UI (nested inside browser UI which in turn is nested inside system UI), its own markup format (because HTML evolved away from being pure hypertext format), and its own update mechanism (instead of HTTP methods, because REST is hard, lets go shopping)
