Wikimedia status history
Current state: operational — “All Systems Operational” per https://www.wikimediastatus.net (Atlassian Statuspage), checked 2026-09-16 12:28 UTC.
How long do Wikimedia incidents last?
From 19 incidents with a vendor-posted start and resolve time. Longest on record: Connectivity issues from Russia — 24.0 h (2026-07-30 10:08 UTC). Excluded, never estimated: nothing. Duration is the gap between the vendor's own posted timestamps — it is not measured downtime, uptime or an SLA figure, and a vendor that posts every blip will look worse here than one that posts nothing. Same rule as the outage-duration dataset.
