Description

I changed my preferences (enabled a gadget) at https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Preferences.

Expected:

I click save
My preferences are saved
I am returned to Special:Preferences

What happen:

I click save
My preferences are saved (yes, they are)
Database locked The database is currently locked to new entries and other modifications, probably for routine database maintenance, after which it will be back to normal. The system administrator who locked it offered this explanation: The database is read-only until replication lag decreases. Return to Special:MyLanguage/Main Page.

This happened to me more than once.
