Actually on deeper reading I think the author bundles a lot of this into what they call ‘transactional’ in the top left. As they put it:
> Any service that involves literal financial transactions — like Amazon, or your bank’s website — probably lives here
But hang on - I need to be able to grab links to Amazon pages and send them to my friends. I don’t need to do the same with my bank statements. What do these sites have in common that this taxonomy usefully identifies? Forms with input fields?

The idea of the category is to identify sites that need to interact with a server to be useful, but do not need rich dynamic client-side interaction. The editing part of Wikipedia would be "transactional" under this definition, because (last I looked) the way you edit Wikipedia is by typing your changes into a textbox and clicking Submit. It's not a Google Docs kind of situation where all the editors can see each other's cursors move around and type stuff in real time.
