On Friday morning my time (10:00 CST, 8:00 PST, 16:00 UTC) I'll be
switching the dns record for
wikitech.wikimedia.org to point to a new
server. This change should be largely invisible to users, but there are
a few things to be ready for:
- Most importantly, YOU WILL BE LOGGED OUT of Wikitech. So if you've
been relying on a persistent session to avoid having to keep track of
your 2FA tokens, today is the day to reset 2FA and record the new
information.
- The new Wikitech build uses a lot of updated software (Debian Stretch,
HHVM, etc.). Although we've done some spot-checks, there may be new
issues that appear for your particular use case. We'll evaluate these
as they crop up, and decide whether or not to revert to the old server.
