Thank you Mr. Crocker for reminding me. Yes - meta.wikipedia.com has been showing MySQL errors for at least five days and is unusable. All the previous content no longer displays either. I hope someone is trying to correct this.
As Ever,

I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere the main Wikipedia site started putting out HTML with:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? ... !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" ...
None of the above is even close to the truth, and for the code to claim it is will cause many problems. The HTTP headers simply claim that the text is "HTML" and that the encoding is "ISO-8859-1", both of which are accurate and useful; this is the way UseMod has always worked and still does, so I don't know where the new stuff came from. This needs to be fixed.
"Meta" is too broken now for me to check.

Hi! Yes, I am aware of the problem with meta.wikipedia, but I'm somewhat unqualified to fix it. I'm studying the issue, but I know very little about the programming of Magnus's system. The weird thing is that although the physical machine has physically moved, nothing has changed (of which I am aware, anyhow) about the setup of the machine.
As for this xml stuff, I have no idea where it came from, but at least I *am* qualified to fix this. :-) And so, I shall.
