The wiki admins have blocked certain IP address ranges, presumably
as an anti-spam or anti-DoS measure.  Unfortunately, this block is
extremely intrusive (you can't even read the wiki, let alone write
to it), seems to be done at the web server level, is not documented
anywhere, and affects real people just trying to read the wiki for help.

And since it's not documented anywhere, there's no indication of how
to request access (removal from the blacklist, or whatever it is).
