Contingency Page For When The Main Wikipedia Server Is Down
While I appreciate the idea of this page, the irony is that when the server is down, this page won't actually appear (and we have a few MediaWiki messages that do). So it's really a bit pointless. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 11:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete as nom. says, useless. My contingency plan usually involves weeping and alcohol. :) Xoloz 17:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - Many times the site is not down, but simply very slow. And many people may come across this page when the site is up, and bookmark the other page for reference when it is down, as I have done.  How else would people know that this page exists?  -- Beland 20:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps we could merge it to some Help or FAQ page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:58, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into one of the FAQ's, and Delete as self-negating. We have MediaWiki messages for this. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, already covered by MediaWiki error messages. --Idont Havaname 03:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for bookmarking purposes as described on the page in question and as described above by Beland.  &mdash;msh210 18:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
