Understanding Wikipedia outages
Sometimes it's hard to tell if your app is glitching, or if billions of users are facing the same downtime. Our trackers look at reports globally to verify outages. If there is an active outage, the only solution is patience while the technical team resolves the infrastructure issues.
Troubleshooting Wikipedia
If no widespread outage is detected for Wikipedia, the problem might be local. Try these quick fixes:
- Power cycle your home internet equipment.
- Open an incognito or private browsing window and try accessing wikipedia.org again.
- Switch from a Wi-Fi connection to mobile data to rule out ISP routing issues.
- Ensure you are using the latest version of the application.
Major disruptions to cloud infrastructure usually take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to fully resolve.
