Wikipedia User in Indonesia Struggle to Login Due to Restriction Access

A user posted in X, informing that The Ministry of Digital and Communication has been blocked access to auth.wikimedia.org. The Wikipedia website uses that domain for user login process. 


I have checked to trustpositif website https://www.trustpositif.web.id/, this website is used to check if any restriction applied to certain URL. The result confirm that auth.wikimedia.org is blocked in Indonesia.

This restriction is questionable, because Wikipedia has not meet any prohibited criteria. Commonly, Indonesia government only blocked gambling and porn website. because of this restriction, Wikipedia users in Indonesia cannot login to their dashboard to edit any article. Setting custom DNS and use VPN service can bypass this restriction, but it is not ideal solution, we need proper explanation why this happened.
