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.
