Please give us at least 15 Minutes to change the mentioned server down message accordingly, so that people can save their work.
While I agree with the at-least-15-minutes notice, I actually have the opposite complaint about this one (can't please everyone, eh?). The outage is scheduled for 1800 UTC on June 11, and has been up since at least 1700 UTC on June 10. Do we really need a 25-hour notice on every wiki page? It seems that the disruption of having this red-outlined warning at the top for over a day is actually more than the disruption of having the wiki be down for a mere 30 minutes. A previous downtime had such a message up for nearly three days, if I recall correctly. Would perhaps putting it up 3-5 hours or so before scheduled downtime be a decent compromise?
