Wikimedia maintenance notice

What's happening?
The Wikimedia Foundation will be performing network maintenance on Tuesday, May 24 from 15:00 to 16:00 (UTC) (8:00am to 9:00am PDT). During the maintenance period, you may experience intermittent connection issues to Wikimedia Foundation web sites, including wikipedia.org.

We have been experiencing router networking issues (thus latency issues) since last week and after much investigation and temporary fixes, we now have decided to update the router software as well as tune the configuration.

What to do if you encounter an issue

 * Wait a few minutes; the tech team may be already aware of the issue and working on it. As long as you see the maintenance banner, it means maintenance is still planned or happening
 * Join the #wikimedia-tech channel on Freenode.
 * If you have an IRC client, use this direct link: #wikimedia-tech
 * Otherwise, see the IRC help page or use Freenode's webchat platform.
 * If you encounter an issue after the maintenance banner has disappeared, please report it on our bug tracker.
