Batch updates can be done, but not by applyiing 'sed' commands to the 
Wiki's text files in the server's filesystem. It will mess with the 
Wiki's version control and history page.
There is a programmatic interface to do batch/noninteractive updates but 
I do not have the time to look into that.
Might be an option for the future though, because these small edits do 
improve the quality of the article texts. Proofreading is a good thing!

Thanks, Eric
