Would it have changed anything for you?

I tried to load Wikipedia a few times during the downtime, and a
maintenance error actually did appear most of the time. I did get a
few database errors, but I assumed that I wasn't the first to notice
and that someone was diligently working on it.

Regardless, my action was the same as it would have been in any case:
try back later.
