Many WMF documents that are not meant to be editable exist in wiki
form.  Wiki pages integrate nicely with commons and our localization
tools, generate anchors for every section, render tables that are
easier to copy.

I imagine one reason we don't have more documents in wiki version is
that many of us use Google Docs / Office / Adobe toolchains, for their
real-time collaboration and annotation and elegant-printing
capabilities.  And we don't have a one-click export-to-wiki tool (or a
"convert-on-upload" option) that works on all of those document
formats.  That makes it a chore to generate a wiki version, which only
happens when someone remembers to make it so.

Our financial documents are often wikified (quite handy; thank you to
the team for making it so!) -- including recent audited financials and
annual reports.
