Background info

The idea of putting Wikipedia on IPFS has been around for a while. Every few months or so someone revives the threads. You can find such discussions in this github issue about archiving wikipedia, this issue about possible integrations with Wikipedia, and this proposal for a new project.

what's missing?

There's an even bigger, longer-running conversation about decentralizing wikipedia. See https://strategy.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Distributed_Wikipedia
