*Problems*
- You will be able to read but not to edit some wikis for up to 30
minutes on 26 November at 06:00 (UTC)
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20191126T06>.
You can see which wikis <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238046>. It
will probably last much shorter than 30 minutes. This will also affect the
centralauth
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CentralAuth>
database.
This could for example affect changing passwords, logging in to new wikis,
changing emails or global renames
