The @wikimediafoundation will switch traffic between its data centers today (19 March) at around 14:00 UTC.
This is done twice a year to make sure that #Wikipedia and the other #Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
More info: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch
Some users also created https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents (seeding of which is definitely appreciated!)
