Hi everyone,
WMF decided to deploy a new version of MediaWiki. All tools are either broken or provide incorrect output data. I don't have time to fix it. I hope someone else can and will do it.

I think this was the (partial) toolserver downtime. It was very unlikely to be a conflict with the new MediaWiki version, since erfgoed bot hadn't done its nightly run yet. And remember, if a horrible MediaWiki update made it truncate the tables and not being able to regenerate its data, we have a 24h time window to restore the previous databases from monuments_db-old.sql.gz and stop the updater.
Hopefully, that won't ever be needed.
