Hello,
On September 13 2021, all traffic from all wikis will be switched back to
the primary data center (first switch happened last June). All wikis will
be in read-only mode on September 13 around 14:00 UTC. A message to inform
our communities has been written, to be sent to wikis:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch
Please check the translations and update them when needed. Work should be
limited, since only dates have been changed.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-T…
More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on
individual wikis.
Please inform your communities about this event!
Thank you for your help,
Benoît

Hi all,
Please could you help translate this re-usable announcement for database
read-only periods:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Read-only_limited_announcementhttps://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-T…
This will be sent next Monday, and then re-used in the future for those
usually-smaller-scale read-only periods when the devs need to do database
maintenance. (i.e. not the full-scale "server switches" which take longer
and affect all wikis)
Much thanks!
