A small typo in these files... several times it says "planed" such as

"#A Information (like a planed maintaince in far future)."

The correct english word here is "planned"... there is also some a/an
confusion and some other minor typos....

In fact here is the entire http://tools.wikimedia.de/status_s1 file, 
but with my suggested corrections incorporated into it...
# This file shows the status of S1
#
# The format is 
# STATUS;Text
#
# Lines with # at the beginning are comments.
#
# The following STATUSes are possible:
#
# OK: 
#	All Ok, nothing to show.
#
# INFO: 
#	An Informational message (like a planned maintenance activity in
thefar future).
#	Please show the line in your tools as information to give users
notice.
#
# WARN:
#	A Warning (like a planned maintenance activity in the near future).
#	Please show the line in your tools as information to give users
notice.
#
# ERRO:
#	An Error (like a unplanned maintenance activity or some other issue)
#	Please show the text instead of your tools
#	(or be very sure that your tools do work).
#
# DOWN:
#	Like ERRO, but planned.
#
OK;
#EOF
#

Hope that is of some help. I think being able to show canned status
from the system is a nifty idea, thanks for making it happen.
