Ah, so the hash is for the whole wiki, and not a single page?

Edit, more info here, at part 2 https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNhFJjGcMPqpuYfxL62VVB9528NXqDNMFXiqN5...




Bingo. Then you have IPNS, which uses a public/private key system to broadcast updates to a mutable hash value. So you can take the IPNS public key for so-and-so's Wikipedia mirror, query the network for the latest hash signed by the corresponding private key, and use that hash to fetch content from IPFS.
