:::BTW, I learned recently that if you make an edit and the internal server error (why in the world is it happening so much now?) come on, you can just press the refresh button and your edit will still be saved. You don't need to worry about your information being lost. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 11:43, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

::::Good point! I've noticed that sometimes works, but I've had times when it doesn't. However, some browsers hold information from past pages. I'm using [[Vivaldi (web browser)|Vivaldi]], which does this. In case of a 500 error, I can just hit back and it instantly loads back the past (edit) page with my edits. I think a number of them do this, including Firefox. I don't know if this works for you.
::::Conservative thinks its due to D/DoS attacks, but I don't know if this is the case or not. The server responds, but there is some problem in the server's internal services; download requests are not handled properly. Sometimes the requests are not served at all, and other times it provides an incomplete answer. It sounds to me more like a problem with the server processing power or software. However, it could be an attack. I have also noticed that certain queries available to the public on this site can take several minutes. Run 100 of those simultaneously, and it could load down the server too. Anyway, I've discontinued all my bot activity, which is about all I can do. It will clear up eventually. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 14:26, 5 October 2017 (EDT)
