Hi Sam,
Natasha Iles has recently been leading some working looking at the Wikimedia UK wiki and may be able to provide some further information.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Issues with IT infrastructure
Hi all,
For those who don't know me, I'm Sam (User:TheresNoTime). I’m a software developer from the south of the UK, and I’ve been on Wikimedia projects since 2008-ish.
I'm also an admin on your wiki, from when I implemented some edit filters to combat spam in 2017.
I popped in today and noticed that the extension seems to have been removed (https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Special:Version), and that you’re running a version of MediaWiki which has recently gone “end-of-life”.
I guessed that your infrastructure would be logged somewhere (likely at https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/IT_Development), but it seems a lot has either moved or is down...?
· https://scm.wikimedia.org.uk
· https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org.uk
· https://monitor.wikimedia.org.uk
· https://moodle.wikimedia.org.uk
· etc.
It doesn’t appear (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/query/TWI5JrhUTA3W/) as though you have a phabricator project.
Is there any more up to date information available, and/or is there anything I can do to help? 😊
Kind regards,
Sam
