Hi Johan: Thanks for messaging us. The edit block, will affect all wikis (including Wikidata)?. I can write a few lines in all Spanish Village Pumps (+ Iberocoop network) before the official message, but our users will ask for this question. Thanks.

Hi, We'll be testing our secondary data centre. This will make sure that the wikis can stay online even after a disaster. On September 10 and October 12, from 14:00 UTC and for up to an hour (but probably not that long), you won't be able to edit the wikis. This has been in Tech News, and there'll be more announcements, but please help spread this in your communities, especially with regards to editathons etc. You'll find more information here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch_2018 //Johan Jönsson -- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors

This is just a reminder, since it's been a month, that this will happen again next week.

... only, I just realised, this particular email has the dates switched. It's October 10. My apologies. //Johan Jönsson --
