Hi,
Thanks to Nick for the PR.
As far as I understand, Easy list is some sort of ad blocking system that
multiple ad blockers use.
From what I can see, Wiktionary got caught up in a
block on URLs ending in
/ads and /advert making some pages blank. It's best to
read the Tech IRC
log from 4pm onwards to get the idea.
I'll have a look at Tech News. I'm happy to write a proper report on what
happened if necessary. Where you would suggest posting it? I can't use
Wikitech due to Account Creation block.
Thanks,
RhinosF1

E.g. the "uBlock Origin" extension's settings panel which lists it,
apparently enabled by default:

What does that mean? Whitelisting what exactly? Where? Please include
sufficient context to allow folks on this list to understand relevance.
Despite the short term distruption, Could it be
placed on Tech News as
users were noticing that some pages were blocked?
See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News for "Inclusion criteria"
under "Get started". Obviously I have no idea what "Easy List" is.
Cheers,
andre
