It's definitely been used for major outages, see e.g.: https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/232469652691894272 https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/232519974663643136 https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/350485792956755968 https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/398888528039276544 (was retweeted by @wikimedia, too) Since mid-2011, Twitter has been listed as a communications tool for such cases at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_response#Communicating_with_the_public . Of course it's a matter of judgment how severe an incident needs to be to be reported on @wikimedia. Issues that don't affect a lot of users, or short outages, may indeed not be covered there. The wording in the patch ("You may be able to get further information in Wikimedia's <a href="https://twitter.com/wikimedia"; >Twitter feed</a>") should be sufficiently non-committal. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
