  Who's gonna run the frontends to make the contents of the wikipedia blockchain accessible to billions of people on commodity web browsers? Does a blockchain make that free somehow? The cost of the database servers is the only thing you're potentially optimizing out here, except unless every frontend stores the entire wikipedia blockchain locally you will need database servers still anyway, they'll just be blockchain "frontends" instead of database frontends.
