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

slating them before they go live), and still there's no outrage and once
they appear on the UI they do get translated quite quickly, with the added
knowledge of the context where they appear.
