As a practical example, I'd like to be able to fix http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/queries/grep but it seems that I will have to make my own tool for the purpose.
Or you could copy-and-adapt. Letting everyone edit everyones tools is - from a security perspective - just plain stupid. The owner of a tool is responsible for it, not some 'list of persons'. I'd rather suggest pushing people to use SVN than to put source code on a wiki.
I could copy-and-adapt, and then everyone who relies on this tool (including other tools) would have to adapt to my copy.
Of course, if such a wiki would be made, only select people would be able to edit the code, and if there is a security breach, you would be able to see who did it, like now.

Serious programming in a browser is a pain in the arse. Imho.
