This could take a few hours; sorry for the inconvenience, but things should improve after this!
* The databases are being moved to the new bigger, faster, dedicated database server. this should lighten the load on the web servers and hopefully let us reenable some of the features that have been off for a while.
* The link tables will be rebuilt. Oddities in 'what links here', orphans lists, and image use links should be resolved.
* The article count will be recalculated. Some bugs caused drift in the article count; corrections may move the number up or down.
