At this point most of our wikis have been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.4, which has a few spiffy new features, some bug fixes, and some performance improvements in page rendering.
I'm slating the upgrades for *.wikipedia.org to start around 1 or 2 am UTC Thursday morning (Wednesday evening in the US). There will be some read-only time during the conversions, which may last up to a few hours depending on how cooperative the databases are.
Note that there's an issue with the special character insertion template on the edit page; on older versions it happened to be possible to insert raw HTML and JavaScript in that portion of the template but ongoing cleanup (for security and robustness reasons, outlined in my recent post to Wiktionary-l) mean that it doesn't work anymore.
It is a useful thing though, and it should be possible to make it work through alternate means, namely a simple MediaWiki extension module. I'll try to have one ready around the time of the conversion if somebody doesn't beat me to it.
Please don't forget to file bug reports at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org for unresolved problems on the other new wikis. We might not get to everything immediately, but we'll never be able to fix problems we don't know about.
