@Kaartic, I know that you are very efficient at posting reminders on wikis! :) Have you already posted some reminders on English Wikipedia?

Yeah, I did post an intimation about this on "Village pump#Technical". I'm planning to post a reminder there, tomorrow (20May2020) around 10:30 A.M UTC.

I'm a little confused about the approximate duration of the operation. This task says the read only time would be around 30 minutes. The other one related to this (T251982) says the read-only time would be around 15 minutes. Which one should I trust?

Let's do 30 minutes. I will fix the other one.
Thank you!

Ok, done! I've posted the reminder at enwiki VPT.

The CentralNotice is also showing up for me on

  • eswiki
  • frwiki
  • htwiki
  • simplewiki

And more. Is it supposed to only be enwiki?

Some basic testing suggests that, while this is only enabled for english on the wikipedia project, it is shown on all wikipedias when displaying in English, and not on enwiki when displaying in French, etc.

All done - not closing this task, leaving that for @Trizek-WMF

It was only enwiki this time, yes.
