Can't access the Wiki

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 132.0.0.0, No Flash version detected

I was peacefully using my phone on the wiki until I got the 508 error, no way of getting out, tried cleaning my browser cache and things, still here.

Then on my computer, same thing- restarted- nothing.

How can I fix it?

If you are the Scratch Team, close the topic if it's unrelated.

The 508 error is not an error, its a limit that blocks the wiki. I searched in Google and saw the answer.

This is not true. The 508 error is a server error, it means some resource limit has been reached server side. It is not a rate limit per user.

If you have wiki problems, a wiki editor will probably realize quickly, you can also post in on the Community Portal Forum Topic.

The scratch team does not run the wiki. The wiki is run by an independent team. It is made official by the scratch team. If the wiki is down (or you have other concerns), put a message here. Note that there are many editors on the wiki (including me), so if the problem is widespread, we know.

The 508 error means something on the wiki's servers is maxed out. ANY ERROR that is 500-599 is a server error.
If the server is rate-limiting the client or there is another thing that is the client's fault, it should give a 400-499 error.

Currently, the wiki team is aware of the server issues and is working on finding a permanent solution.
