Scheduled: MediaWiki 1.21 Upgrade

Hi everybody,

Just a quick notification that you’ll see a small bit of downtime early Saturday morning due to us upgrading all sites to MediaWiki 1.21.1 – the newest MediaWiki release. The downtime will start at approximately 10AM UTC and is nothing to be worried about. The sites will return shortly after this – we’re not sure exactly how long things will take, so keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter for more information.

More details about what is in the new release will be posted here as soon as the upgrade is complete!

Regards,

Lewis Cawte,
Chief Technical Officer, ShoutWiki.com.
