Hi,
Thanks to Nick for the PR.
As far as I understand, Easy list is some sort of ad blocking system
that multiple ad blockers use.
From what I can see, Wiktionary got caught up in a block on URLs ending
in /ads and /advert making some pages blank. It's best to read the Tech IRC
log from 4pm onwards to get the idea.
I'll have a look at Tech News. I'm happy to write a proper report on
what happened if necessary. Where you would suggest posting it? I can't use
Wikitech due to Account Creation block.
Thanks,
RhinosF1

Easy List seems to be one of the component in
various adblocker tools

E.g. the "uBlock Origin" extension's settings panel which lists it,
apparently enabled by default:
