Hello Several maintenance operations on databases will be performed soon. These operations target all wikis so as specific wikis. Please read this message carefully. A banner will be displayed on concerned wikis 30 minutes before each operation. However, it is always better to have these news being known, so please help make your community aware of these maintenance operations! *== April 30 - all wikis ==* A maintenance operation will be performed on Thursday 30th April at 05:00 AM UTC. It impacts all wikis and is supposed to last a few minutes. During this time, new translations may fail, and Notifications may not be delivered. For more details about the operation and on all impacted services, please check on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T250733 *== May 5 - some wikis ==* A maintenance operation will be performed on Tuesday 5th April at 05:00 AM UTC. It impacts some wikis, for 15 minutes: cebwiki dewiki enwikivoyage mgwiktionary shwiki srwiki frwiki jawiki ruwiki https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251153 *== May 7 - some wikis and CentralAuth ==* A maintenance operation will be performed on Thursday 7th April at 05:00 AM UTC. It impacts some wikis, for 15 minutes: arwiki cawiki eswiki fawiki frwiktionary hewiki huwiki kowiki metawiki rowiki ukwiki viwiki CentralAuth-based services (rename account, change password, etc.) may not work.

I understand the impact of the other two maintenance operations. I'm a little confused about this one. You initially say this affects some wikis and give a list. But in the end you say, "This will affect all wikis". IIUC, you intend to say that as CentralAuth-based services are affected the impact might be (indirectly) observed on all wikis. Is that correct? -- Sivaraam (wiki: User:Kaartic)

Yes, I think that you're right. Best regards, Zoran Dori volunteer, Wikimedia Serbia s: zoranzoki21.github.io e: zorandori4444(a)gmail.com

Yes, it is correct. Wikis I listed will be in read-only, all other wikis may see some disturbance. Thank you for asking this. I always like to see someone asking if something is unclear! Benoît

I'm wondering if mediawikiwiki would also go read-only just like metawiki? I do not see it being mentioned anywhere in the linked phabricator ticket. It was not mentioned in your earlier e-mail, too. -- Sivaraam (wiki: User:Kaartic)

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.

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. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251982 Please inform your communities about these read-only times!
