It might be more worthwhile to put downtime status updates on status.wikimedia.org as a logical page to display the status of the servers, and link to it from the default error messages.
Given that status.wm.org is an external service, it would hopefully not be affected by any outages and the Watchmouse service probably should have the functionality to host informational messages like this and explanations for outages (like appstatus.google.com does) even if only after the fact when the ops team has time to write down what is happening.
