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.

Ah. I had always assumed the text formatting was limited to specific options in a "rich text" type editor. Thanks for this explanation.
