This was…weird. apparently wikipedia was hacked or something? Visiting Wikipedia, I’m seeing this undismissable modal that blocks access to the page.

I was trying to read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_elections

It looks like this was a rogue asshole who took over that page actually. Because after many refreshes… now it appears to be a blank page and says it was recently edited by some user.

    Looking at the edit history, it looks like a different page was edited in. There’s a lot of funky stuff you can do there with wiki formatting and likely wasn’t a hack as said.
