Hello everyone,
This is to inform you that on Monday Feb 22nd 2018 ~10:00 UTC, the infrastructure powering irc.wikimedia.org will be rebooted for security upgrades. This is expected to only impact bots that are using irc.wikimedia.org AND are not able to automatically reconnect on connection failure. From recent experience (the equipment was rebooted 210 ago last time, with no fallout) those are very limited in number these days.
Regards,
