Hi, after crashing an hour or so ago EN Wikipedia has started to come back but with a really strange appearance - less usable than Vector. Rumour has it that someone cut through a fibre optic cable in Florida, so far none of the parties to various incidents on the Dwamah boards have fessed up as responsible. If anyone in the know could give more details it would be nice.

Please do, it's making the news already (Mashable, CNet) and the BBC just called to ask about it :-)
Front page is back for me, fwiw.

We're back in the UK. I've had a couple of media enquiries too.
The strange appearance was because the stylesheets weren't loading.
Thanks,
Stevie

According to #wikimedia-tech a few hours ago, a cut fibre cable:
"Wikipedia is currently down due to networking issues (read: fiber being accidentally cut) in the Tampa Datacenter."

It's back to normal for me now. Afaict, the servers hosting the static CSS/JS came back up later than the servers hosting the wiki content, so for a period you would be seeing the raw HTML without any CSS styling.
Vaguely impressed that it was readable at all, actually. Good HTML/CSS practice is supposed to result in the HTML being readable even without CSS applied, but it's common at major sites for that to not really be the case.

Hi
Would this be a EN Wikipedia issue only?
Portuguese is acting funny too - the prompt/ auto-complete in the search field is not working properly, nor is the search function itself.

No, this is all wikis - I believe it was everything with *wikimedia or *wikipedia. NL was acting up, as well as various WMF-hosted chapter wikis.
The search function will take a while to start working properly, too, for the same reasons as Delirium states.
