Can we do temporary edits to the template to make it semi-functional (only a couple of switchs), or it can't be touched until you finish investigating?
It's 5 days since this reminding, a week since the slowness. We're missing the funcionality it provided. So, is there any reason blocking from restoring it? (if so, why hasn't been resolved yet? :D)
There was a 'policy' of users don't needing to worry about server issues ('if there aren't enough servers, we will add more'), but here there is a collision. As any edit to the template will affect a lot of pages, i'm also reluctant of doing 'lighter' versions, as changes+reverts would probably overload even more. Who should we send versions for approval?
