You are certainly not the only one. Many have been having issues since yesterday. Most recently I started getting "Our main datacenter is down, you are accessing our backup"

I have mentioned this on the Technical update blog, and the Wikia team seem to be aware of the problem.

I haven't seen any comment on what has been causing it nor any estimate on when it will be resolved. So I can only guess what causing it.
