Frequently asked questions
Is Wikipedia working right now?
Working partially. The site usually opens, but selected articles have been added to the register of restricted resources. Checked at 06:00 MSK, updated every 5 minutes.
Why is Wikipedia down for me, but working for others?
Most often, it depends on the network: accessibility varies by provider and region. Check Wikipedia from your device, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or restart the app. Check the "Who is having issues" section to see affected providers.
How can I check if Wikipedia opens on my device?
Tap "Check" in the "Check on your device" section. Your browser will query Wikipedia addresses directly and display the response status and time. The check takes up to 8 seconds and installs nothing.
Why doesn't Wikipedia open for everyone?
The site usually opens, but selected articles have been added to the register of restricted resources. Restrictions apply unevenly: the service does not open at all on some providers, while on others it loads slowly or partially. That's why it might work for friends but not for you.
