A review of current provision and issues on the English Wikipedia (hereafter: Wikipedia)
Overview
Wikipedia has WikiProject Accessibility, which "aims to make Wikipedia accessible for users with disabilities." There are editors who also attempt to ensure that Wikipedia is accessible in the broader sense, that is, also available to visitors who have outdated hardware and software or have very low bandwidth connections - a not uncommon situation in the developing and third world.
Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that documents consensus on issues of style. That has a sub-section on accessibility providing guidance on accessibility issues.
