Ops is doing a failover test between the primary and secondary data centers. You will be able to read, but not edit, during a critical point in the work. It should last about 20 to 30 minutes on these two dates:

More information (including a link to the official schedule) is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch_2017

Two more things for this particular audience:

  • If you discover unexpected problems (for example, if you can't read pages for more than a moment or two), then you will probably want to report unexpected problems in #wikimedia-tech Last year, #wikimedia-operations was moderated until the wikis were online again.
  • There will be code freezes during both of those weeks. I encourage you all to be thoughtful about what you choose to deploy during the week immediately the code freezes, too.
