I can confirm that (tested on https://wiki.debian.org). Depending on
the language preferences set on my browser (en resp. fr), I stay on
the default, English or get redirected to the French version, /fr/.

So I don't see any IP based language choice on wiki.debian.org, just
one based on HTTP content negotiation (and thus on client choice), as
it Should Be (TM).

DISCLAIMER: I only tested without Javascript. I (mostly) browse with
Javascript disabled.

@Fungi4All: if you are interested in constructive discussions and not
just in ranting off, please describe what you are seeing, at least
with an URL for people to try to reproduce what you are seeing.
