If they can send me a push notification about a contest occurring on another wiki then why can't I receive fair warning about a 5 hour lockout? Why did I first become aware of this when trying to save an edit? Why was the closest thing to an explanation made after the fact on this thread that I wouldn't even see if I didn't come here to try and learn what the hell is going on?

P.S. I just checked my contributions and the last post I made to this wiki was 10 months ago to express the same disappointment. Get your act together. When the police are dealing with a riot, they don't take the time to give people a heads up about it. They are busy dealing with the riot. (of course there are the news reporters doing the informing, but the analogy still stands)

So during the problem, on a weekend, with an emergency team called in to handle it, their primary responsibilities, in order, are
 * 1) shut down the problems
 * 2) correct the problems
 * 3) reverse any damage done
 * 4) let us know what is going on

I don't know about you, but I don't want them telling me about the problem if my wikia is still being afflicted and under attack. I want them stopping and reversing it before it gets worse. Then they can tell me about it.
