Misplaced Pages slowness
Hi Dan, you seem to know what you're talking about on this page. I was wondering if you'd mind explaining what's going on, because no one seems to give any information on that page, so it's not clear why it exists. Someone has changed something about the Misplaced Pages within the last 7-10 days, because these problems are different in kind, not degree. It's not bandwidth and it's not extra users attracted by media attention. The slowness is phenomenal but it's not the only problem. Edits are not being saved. Sometimes not at all; sometimes partially. Sometimes the editor's name is in the edit history; sometimes not. Sometimes it'll create a new page; sometimes not. Sometimes it tells you it can't save (page can't load or whatever); then when you look later, your edit is there, timed at the first time you clicked on Save page!
