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!
It seems to me that whoever made the change that has caused this chaos must know what they did, so why don't they undo it? Or am I being simplistic and unfair? It's very frustrating because this is a disaster for the Misplaced Pages, yet no one will tell us anything, or at least nothing that makes sense or is truly informative. Can you enlighten me at all? I would feel less frustrated if I had just a tiny bit of knowledge. It took me over five minutes to load your Talk page, and it may be another five before it saves, if it saves.
