*Problems*

MediaWiki for last week was not fully released due to issues. It was
removed from most wikis on Tuesday and from test wikis on Thursday. [1]
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-June/092212.html>
- Most wikis were slow and then briefly read-only last week due to one
of the database servers having a problem. It is now replaced. [2]
