I added the following to the Technology Report, trying to relate what this means for the general user.
The toolserver was down for a couple days around New Year's, due to the
servers being moved to from the Amsterdam facility to another data
center. After the move, there were problems with one of the database
servers (yarrow), which took a few days to fix. While awaiting the fix,
a log file was deleted and replication on one of the clusters is not
working. This means copies of some Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects are
not up-to-date now. However, the replication problem but this is only
affecting some of the smaller projects and not English Wikipedia. Some
interwiki tools such as CheckUsage (for images) are not fully
functional at this time, producing outdated results.
Again, thanks for the quick reply and let me know if what I wrote needs any adjustments.
Regards,
Aude
