Weekly highlight
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday March 19. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. This is done twice a year, around the equinoxes, by the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team: by redirecting all traffic from one primary server to another—essentially a backup- we can rely on the other datacenter in case of a crisis.
Updates for editors
