Wikipedia's own component breakdown, as they publish it
- ReadingOperational
- EditingOperational
These are Wikipedia's components, named and scored by Wikipedia. We do not map them onto the functions we check above, because we have no way to know which of their components our checks touch. Two lists, side by side, neither one rewriting the other.
This is Wikipedia's own claim about their service, shown separately from what we measured. We never change our own numbers based on what a vendor reports, and this reading never changes theirs. Read both.

Check your own site while you wait on Wikipedia
Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Wikipedia. It cannot diagnose Wikipedia's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using Wikipedia, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Wikipedia yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Recent probe events
check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring Wikipedia since August 8, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

Monitor your own site the same way
This page shows what we see when we check this service, using the same ten regions, for a site you run. RealUptime Monitor watches your own servers from inside your network, and it starts free.

If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so and shows no color. Free, no account, and it links back here.

Checking a site of your own? The free website down checker sends it one request and reports the answer, and the SLA calculator shows how much downtime an uptime figure allows.
What we check
What our check can and cannot see
A pass means a public route of the service's API answered our request normally. We do not check what it returned, so it does not show that the data is right, that sign-in works or that the rest of the product works.
