I seem to recall some comments made by someone in the know that there is extensive IP-based blocking used on wiki.debian.org within the web server and this sometimes causes collateral damage, i.e. some people unable even to read the site, let alone modify it. Unfortunately I can't remember any more details than that. I was going to say that it could be worth OP's time to create a bug against the wiki, and I already see this one: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885433> I think this would tend to support the possibility of this being the culprit, though the lack of resolution here does suggest the OP may have a long road ahead if that is the case.
