Hello,
Can somebody give a status update about when the special pages will be
updated again? (like broken redirects or double redirects) The stopt
updating for almost a week now.
And what is the reason that the are not working?
Last week some of the background batch jobs were reorganized to run
under a less privileged user account, a good security practice.
Unfortunately the log files the batch jobs logged to didn't have their
ownership updated, so the batch jobs were unable to actually run, due to
being unable to open their output files. :P
I've fixed the file ownership; they should start updating in the next
day or two per regular schedule.
Brion, you might want to double-check that. The "regular schedule" would
have had the special pages on enwiki updated today (13 Feb), early morning
US time, but so far it has not happened.
