Did you notice you can click anywhere in the text and edit it?

Something was lost along the way.

(Nowadays you need a separate wiki engine on a site to be able to do that)

No you don’t. These browser simply PUTs the request and your web server simply edits the document. Versioning is optional, of course.

Do we know that they didn't have some backend code handing the editing?

I don't think a web where every page is globally editable by default would be a good idea, but I can't imagine at all how it would work without a backend, unless all of the changes are just local. But that seems pointless.
