One piece of advice that I'm glad to see included in that link: "Disable or uninstall any 3rd party "anti-virus" software. Most of them do more harm than good when they interfere with your browser's secure connections."
If you're using Windows, there is little need to use anything other than Defender (built-in). Any 3rd party anti-virus is intercepting your traffic for analysis.
If the user is able to read that page, then how is Wikipedia "removing support for insecure TLS protocol versions"? I think that is not what is happening here.
Instead they display different content to those users.
As I understand it, a user that is MITMed will not get any benefit out of this. As the MITM could simply display the original content to them.
So this is more like "To force you to switch your browser / device, we deny you access to the content you requested".

Some 3rd party anti-viruses are even crashing browsers: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/17555930
