Can you retry, it should be solved now or shortly (or may need a refresh of your browser)?

Can you retry, it should be solved now or shortly (or may need a refresh of your browser)?

Yes, I retry but this problem still exists.

It seems that I can visit wikitech but other WMF‘s websites cannot access.

I can visit now, but I don't know what happened.

Not your fault, issues with connectivity on certain regions on the world- a datacenter was disabled to workaround it. Thank you for the quick report, it helped!

Our San Francisco datacenter is linked to our infrastructure by 2 links.
1 link had a planned maintenance, the other had an outage at the wrong time.
as soon as we noticed the issue, we disabled that datacenter, redirecting the users to a functional datacenter.
The links are back to a healthy state, and will re-enable that datacenter shortly.
We identified short and long term solutions to increase resiliency and reduce the risk of the issue happening again.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

as soon as we noticed the issue, we disabled that datacenter, redirecting the users to a functional datacenter.

In this case, is the disabling action automatic or manual?

Manual.
It would be automatic in an ideal world, but not enough resources to work on that.

I get this error message, while the file uploaded fine. Very annoying.
