Its more common with mmos, due to the multiple servers and number of players logged in at once. Sometimes, they'll do a rollback to an earlier point, which is a headache, as you would have to redo those quests again. Its like running system restore on your pc, but even that's very risky.

IMO, the poweruser group was a bit pointless, like the wikia star group. Could you take suggestions during this time? I'm thinking of a multi quote feature for threads and other improvements. I've noticed that whenever I try to change my avatar or edit the masthead, I get 'something went wrong' error.

I don't think this ever gets asked, but the maintenance does affect special:contact?
