I think Boris changed his mind because I talked to him very recently
and he said he would recommend the use of the wiki for editiong SPARQL
documents too or at least that he would not see major reasons of not
using the wiki since it got much faster after the server upgrade. I
can't remember his exact phrase but it wasn't "Stay clear of wiki
editing if you can."

Probably but our documents do not have a common file but use several
copies of the file that could do this.
