Somebody (not me) has also written this:

 If you are wondering why a wiki has a blocklist in the first place, it is
 due to technical limitations is the software (MoinMoin) that is used to
 un the wiki: there is no way to set an IP-based blocklist that permits
 banned IP's to read, but not write to the wiki.  As such, we have to use
 the higher-level kludge.

The OP should mail wiki@debian.org with an IP address.
