Hi Mahitgar
That is directly related to the MediaWiki 1.17 deployment which happened
some time on Wednesday/Thursday. I have no issues in Chrome but get what you
describe on Firefox.
You should contact the tech team on #wikimedia-tech channel on IRC or email
Roan or the tech team separately. They are still working through the issues.
Hope that helps
Salmaan

Dear Wikipedians ,
There seems to be important accessibility issue with Marathi Wikipedia and
Marathi Wiktionary , Realy not aware how limited or widespread problem is
.Initially thought the problem is limited to me only but there is one more
complaint received.
I am facing problem since Yesterday evening , Problem is quite strange
irrespective of the browser ( and my all browsers are relatively updated)
we just see Marathi Wikipedia/Wiktionary page just for a second and then it
completely disappears only meta central notice remains visible "Wikipedia is
sustained by people like you. Please donate today." We can see complete
(HTML) source for the page from browser but cant see the the page.
I am using Windows7 licensed copy with Windows Security essential Firewall
which is well updated. Realy dont know if problem began since virus
definitions of the firewall got updated but certainly I am not the only
person to face the problem, atleast one more complaint has been received, we
are not likely to get many complaints on mr-wiki since if people can not
access at all then how would and where would they complain,
I could bypass the problem by deactivating Java from my browser,As a
precaution we deactivated Marathi Transliteration feature from Marathi
wikipedia but still problem is there.
Activity of expert level users is as usual, bot activity level is also as
usual but anonymous editing seems to have been ceased all the way
I searched Meta but really dont know where to report this problem.
Any help please ?
Thanks and Warm regards

Thanks Abhay for your prompt
reply, On my own I did a little try disabled the Java script
from my Firefox browser then I did get access to
Marathi Wikipedia , infact did create empty .js file as
suggested by previously on font related page. As you said it
is java related problem but just not restricted to font
related since I created that empty file again had
enabled java again (for official purpose to access
google map properly) and again could not access mr-wiki.
But disabling java has not just stopped features for me on
mr wiki , almost instantaneously I had to use some features
on google map for official purpose and I could not do the
same before enabling java again.
Thanks a lot this experience is good new addition in
my knowledge it is making me learn
some thing new.

Vijay,
User:Mahitgar/vector.js does not exist. Or I do
not have access to view it.
Even if you removed/disabled this file, there are
other javascripts that get loaded when you visit a page
on wikipedia, so doubt that will solve the problem
anyways.
I use Windows 7 on one of my machines and w:mr loads
fine there, so OS is most likely not the
issue.
Also, since you can actually get to the site, firewall
is not a cause either. I would strongly advise leaving the
firewall settings to "on".
I'll send you another email if I think of
something else that may cause the problem.

Dear Abhay and Pratik
Still my issue of no access to mr.wikipedia and
mr.wiktionary is unresolved ,All the browsers are opening
the page for a second and then closing again a strange
behaviour only the central notice from meta remains visible
, another strange behavior is in page source browsers are
showing complete HTML source for the concerned pages. Why
these two sites only not giving me access only similarity
which is striking in my head both these sites we are
using Java script for using Marathi , May be since my
Firewall's updated definitions are clashing with this
java script , my tech knowledge is zero but just I am trying
to think the worst.
Now so is it possible for either of you to disable marathi language
script at
User:Mahitgar/vector.js from my user
page on mr.wikipedia , because it will help me reduce
atleast one of the probablities from the list ,Any way I
have windows 7 and
Marathi script is enabled , only the thing is i am not
still used to it , may be this instance will make me use it
.
Regards
Vijay
I am using Windows7 + Microsoft Security essentials
Firewall , Firewall is on my single laptop no other pc
connected but my office policy does not allow me to
disable the firewall .

I have been in and out of w:mr all morning, no
problems. I just went to wb:mr and it came up fine too. I
did see a brief outage on w:en earlier, lasting no more than
30 seconds.
You may want to clear your browser cache. If that
fails, ask your site admin if those websites are
blocked/firewalled for some reason.
