Hi, Thanks to Nick for the PR. As far as I understand, Easy list is some sort of ad blocking system that multiple ad blockers use.
From what I can see, Wiktionary got caught up in a block on URLs ending in /ads and /advert making some pages blank. It's best to read the Tech IRC log from 4pm onwards to get the idea. I'll have a look at Tech News. I'm happy to write a proper report on what happened if necessary. Where you would suggest posting it? I can't use Wikitech due to Account Creation block.
