Wikipedia actually forces me to take an indefinite
break until the whole
thing is running properly again. A couple of days
ago, I wikified a long
page and for once forgot to copy it before pressing
the "save" button.
Needless to say, the whole thing was lost
irrevocably before I had realized
my mistake. Yesterday I was careless again and added
five titles to
Kingturtle's reading list -- lost forever. Now I
just wanted to update a
page -- impossible.
I'm still amazed that this is not being discussed.
Instead, I am inundated
by e-mails about bots, most of which are just copies
of old e-mails with one
sentence added at the bottom. I don't understand
participants' priorities
here.
The issue of the bots has been resolved, I think.
Steve seems to have stopped arguing, so I think it's
OK to go ahead with the bot.
I have been used to having a look at Wikipedia first
thing whenever I sit
down at my computer. I guess I'll keep doing so and
occasionally try to
edit an article, but since all good features
(watchlist, search function
etc.) are more or less gone and as it now usually
takes one minute or so to
get from the edit history back to the article I
don't think I'll be able to
contribute a lot. This is just too frustrating.
Whatever happened to the "new server madness"?

Funny, I haven't been experiencing any of those
problems.
