Hello!

We have a new set of wikis next week. As always, it won't be possible to edit, but it will still be possible to read the contents. 

A banner will be set 30 minutes before each event. 

May 19 - Wikidata and several other wikis

It will happen on Tuesday 19th May at 05:00 AM UTC, for 15 minutes. 

While it targets Wikidata, services targeting Wikidata may not work during the meantime. 

More information: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251981

May 21 - English Wikipedia

It will happen on Thursday 21th May at 05:00 AM UTC, for 30 minutes.

Please inform your communities about these read-only times!

Thank you,
Benoît

Thanks for the link. I overlooked that in the ticket. Looks like the
list of affected wikis is pretty long for the May 7 maintenance operation.
