Hello again,
Here is the Discovery department's weekly status update for the week
starting 04 April.
* CirrusSearch now uses HTTPS for communication between Mediawiki and the
Elasticsearch backend. This both increases the privacy of Wikipedia users
and helps ensure that we can continue to serve our content even with a
major failure of our main datacenter.
* April 6, 2016 CREDIT Showcase[edit | edit source]
