Hi Mahitgar
That is directly related to the MediaWiki 1.17 deployment which happened some time on Wednesday/Thursday. I have no issues in Chrome but get what you describe on Firefox.
You should contact the tech team on #wikimedia-tech channel on IRC or email Roan or the tech team separately. They are still working through the issues.
Hope that helps

Dear Wikipedians ,
There seems to be important accessibility issue with Marathi Wikipedia and Marathi Wiktionary , Realy not aware how limited or widespread problem is .Initially thought the problem is limited to me only but there is one more complaint received.
I am facing problem since Yesterday evening , Problem is quite strange irrespective of the browser ( and my all browsers are relatively updated) we just see Marathi Wikipedia/Wiktionary page just for a second and then it completely disappears only meta central notice remains visible "Wikipedia is sustained by people like you. Please donate today." We can see complete (HTML) source for the page from browser but cant see the the page.
I am using Windows7 licensed copy with Windows Security essential Firewall which is well updated. Realy dont know if problem began since virus definitions of the firewall got updated but certainly I am not the only person to face the problem, atleast one more complaint has been received, we are not likely to get many complaints on mr-wiki since if people can not access at all then how would and where would they complain,
I could bypass the problem by deactivating Java from my browser,As a precaution we deactivated Marathi Transliteration feature from Marathi wikipedia but still problem is there.
Activity of expert level users is as usual, bot activity level is also as usual but anonymous editing seems to have been ceased all the way
I searched Meta but really dont know where to report this problem.
Any help please ?
Thanks and Warm regards

As you said it is java related problem but just not restricted to font related since I created that empty file again had enabled java again (for official purpose to access google map properly) and again could not access mr-wiki.
But disabling java has not just stopped features for me on mr wiki , almost instantaneously I had to use some features on google map for official purpose and I could not do the same before enabling java again.
Thanks a lot this experience is good new addition in my knowledge it is making me learn some thing new.

Vijay,
User:Mahitgar/vector.js does not exist. Or I do not have access to view it. Even if you removed/disabled this file, there are other javascripts that get loaded when you visit a page on wikipedia, so doubt that will solve the problem anyways.
I use Windows 7 on one of my machines and w:mr loads fine there, so OS is most likely not the issue.
Also, since you can actually get to the site, firewall is not a cause either. I would strongly advise leaving the firewall settings to "on".
I'll send you another email if I think of something else that may cause the problem.

Dear Abhay and Pratik
Still my issue of no access to mr.wikipedia and mr.wiktionary is unresolved ,All the browsers are opening the page for a second and then closing again a strange behaviour only the central notice from meta remains visible , another strange behavior is in page source browsers are showing complete HTML source for the concerned pages. Why these two sites only not giving me access only similarity which is striking in my head both these sites we are using Java script for using Marathi , May be since my Firewall's updated definitions are clashing with this java script , my tech knowledge is zero but just I am trying to think the worst.
Now so is it possible for either of you to disable marathi language
script at
User:Mahitgar/vector.js from my user page on mr.wikipedia , because it will help me reduce atleast one of the probablities from the list ,Any way I have windows 7 and Marathi script is enabled , only the thing is i am not still used to it , may be this instance will make me use it .
Regards
Vijay
I am using Windows7 + Microsoft Security essentials Firewall , Firewall is on my single laptop no other pc connected but my office policy does not allow me to disable the firewall .

I have been in and out of w:mr all morning, no problems. I just went to wb:mr and it came up fine too. I did see a brief outage on w:en earlier, lasting no more than 30 seconds.
You may want to clear your browser cache. If that fails, ask your site admin if those websites are blocked/firewalled for some reason.
