Getting 403 forbidden from wiki.debian.org?

This should be relevant to devuan, since it's debian-based. Searching the forum gave 22 pages of results with wiki.debian.org.

Recently I have been getting 403 Forbidden from wiki.debian.org. It seems the site does some blocking from what I could gather searching for the problem. I have written to them as suggested in one answer on reddit, but I must say that I find it surprising that an informational website would find it necessary to apply IP-based blocking. I have a fixed IP address from my Internet-provider, and I have no idea why the address, or the block it belongs to, may have been blacklisted.

This is mainly a heads up, in case other devuan users stumble into this problem. But I'd be interested in hearing if others have been affected by this, for example.
