Uniquely watermark the displayed page?  Easy, for moderately viewed pages.

Watermark the wiki source views/edits?  Very hard.

The difficulty is in making changes that are content-neutral.  Adding
extra period or spaces or the occasional 1<->l  O<->0 swap in text
documents are harmless.  In wiki source, not so harmless.
