This page claims that "A more detailed announcement is available on the Wikimedia tech blog", but this link doesn't lead to a valid page. I looked around for a bit over there, but I couldn't figure out what page it was trying to link to. Can someone else fix this? - dcljr 10:47, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I mentioned it in my e-mail to the translators list: the blog post isn't published yet, but the link will work by the time the maintenance happens. guillom 11:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

The link is now working, and I've updated the existing translations. guillom 21:52, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I hit http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, then Special:Random, and the page "Wine" came up with a JavaScript error in IE8:

Line: 340
Error: 'mw.user.options' is null or not an object

Thank you for testing! We're taking a look at it now. -- RobLa-WMF 22:19, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rob. This and several other errors are now occurring on Meta — but only when &debug=false. The undefined variables user and mw.util.updateTooltipAccessKeys are actually defined as mw.user and window.updateTooltipAccessKeys respectively. Maybe some old JavaScript is being cached serverside somewhere? —Pathoschild 05:04:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pathoschild, I believe the problem you're having is related to the root cause of bug 34469, which Trevor just fixed today. Please give this a whirl and see if this fixes it for you. Thanks! -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 01:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be fixed. —Pathoschild 05:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Bugzilla link

Is the Bugzilla link intentional? Will this notice always be shown on Meta? --Amir E. Aharoni 10:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, this notice is the landing page for all languages versions of the "Generic maintenance notice" banner. But thanks for checking :) guillom 13:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Watchlist issue

People have reported not being able to pages to their watchlist here on meta. I've confirmed that it's also happening on mediawiki.org, so it's probably a 1.19 issue. Steps to reproduce: go to a page you don't yet follow, and try to watch it. The reverse (trying to unfollow a watched page) doesn't work either. guillom 11:55, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Filed as bugzilla:34469. Nemo 12:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

This one was mostly fixed late last week, and then we think we killed off the final problem (debug mode) today. Please let us know if this recurs. Thanks! -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 02:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
