Somebody disabled miser mode on
de.wikipedia.org in LocalSettings.php.
That may have been there for a while, I don't know, it wasn't labeled.
Heavy special pages on de were weighing down the database A LOT, so
I've taken it out and locked them off again. Load on suda has fallen
from 8-10 to 4-6 and response is much better.
I've also put the locks back on pl, and temporarily disabled the
'magic' parameter for bypassing miser mode.
