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.

True, but at the same time I've rarely ever seen any vandalism, let alone a full page takeover.
