[Wikipedia-l] Wikipedia in read-only mode for database transfer/rebuild

[Brion Vibber]

This could take a few hours; sorry for the inconvenience, but things 
should improve after this!

* The databases are being moved to the new bigger, faster, dedicated 
database server. this should lighten the load on the web servers and 
hopefully let us reenable some of the features that have been off for a 
while.

* The link tables will be rebuilt. Oddities in 'what links here', 
orphans lists, and image use links should be resolved.

* The article count will be recalculated. Some bugs caused drift in the 
article count; corrections may move the number up or down.
