Surprised you got to the page. I get -

when attempting to access the wiki at all.
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).
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki/FAQ
Not really useful for those who can't access the wiki at all.

Quote from the page above:

     Q: Access to wiki.debian.org is blocked with 403 Forbidden
         Please mail wiki@debian.org with your IP address.

Kind regards,
Andrei
Yeah - unless you have dynamic IP addressing, in which case you'll be making that request daily... I'm not sure I know of anyone hiding out waiting to pounce on wikipedia...
