I was curious whether this issue would just happen to the rewrite
branch, which I mostly use, or if it also concerns trunk.  Here's a
quick test I did using trunk (revision 10632):

Updating page [[User:Nettrom/sandbox/suggestions]] via API
HTTPError: 504 Gateway Time-out
WARNING: Could not open 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php'.
Maybe the server is down. Retrying in 1 minutes...

I did some simple editing tests using my browser, where it appears
that it takes the server about 48s to respond with the saved page.


Cheers,
Morten
