Start monitoring for freeWikimedia (Crowdsourced encyclopedia and free knowledge platform) is a a Hosting solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since January 2023. Over the past almost 2 years, we have collected data on on more than 69 outages that affected Wikimedia users. When Wikimedia publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 2 components using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.
If you're wondering, "Is Wikimedia down?", or need to know its current status, we've got you covered. Our platform tracks every reported outage, performance issue, and maintenance window to ensure you're informed. Whether Wikimedia is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.
Many StatusGator users monitor Wikimedia to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. We've sent more than 100 notifications to our users about Wikimedia incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.
If we detect a potential Wikimedia outage or other issue before it was reported on the official status page we will send an Early Warning Signal notification to StatusGator subscribers. We can often detect issues before they are officially acknowledged by the provider, giving you a head start on resolving any potential problems.
If Wikimedia is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.
Warn notifications are used when Wikimedia is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.
Wikimedia posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when Wikimedia enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.
When Wikimedia posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.
When Wikimedia has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.
Because Wikimedia has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you whenever a particular component is down. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
