Thinking about it...when Wikipedia was down yesterday,
only the english wikipedia displayed a red message
saying it was not editable, but allowed read only.
On the french wikipedia, it was just and that was all.
No warning message saying "well, guys, sorry, we are
trying to fix the stuff" and not even read-only
wikipedia.
I don't know if this is due to the existence of the
two servers and if it would have been possible that
the fr wikipedia be read only as well.
If it is possible, could it be that we switch to read
only mode and alert message as well, instead of just
letting people wondering why the whole site is not
working at all ?
Sorry if I just don't understand the organisation of
that at all. I just think it is real bad that people
just don't know what is going on.
