Error message : "This wiki has a problem" (...) Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.6.43' (4)) is (was) shown at : http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fichier:Wikiversity-logo.svg http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fichier:Wikiversity-logo.svg http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fichier:Moli%C3%A8re_-_Nicolas_Mignard_%281658%29.jpg Wiktionary Text pages such as : http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C5%9Dveligis are (were) OK. So the problem is a problem on Commons. Therefore the text "this wiki has a problem" should be changed into "Wikimedia's file repository, "Wikimedia Commons", has a problem. Please try again later. This problem affects only file pages. Pages other than file pages are probably OK on this wiki".
It's not going to happen. It wasn't only just commons. Error messages as such help people know the whole site is at risk. Depending on what database server it is, other wikis can quite often be affected.
