It's only recently, within the last three months IIRC, that Wikipedia started requiring a UA header

I know because as a matter of practice I do not send one. Like I do with most www sites, I used Wikipedia for many years without ever sending a UA header. Never had a problem

I read the www text-only, no graphical browser, no Javascript
