Live reachability
The regional cards above show whether wikipedia.org is reachable now and whether failures cluster globally or by route.

Is Wikipedia Down? Check wikipedia.org Status
Run a live multi-region check for wikipedia.org and compare the result with official Wikipedia sources, known failure modes, and local troubleshooting steps.
This page is built for outage triage: first confirm reachability, then verify official signals, then decide whether the problem is global, regional, or local to your account/network.

How to interpret this Wikipedia result

The recent-check panel below adds public check history for this exact page when data is available.
Limitations
This check confirms whether wikipedia.org responds from regional probes. It cannot prove every feed, post, notification, or mobile-app path inside Wikipedia.

What to check first for Wikipedia
For Wikipedia, start by separating wikipedia.org public reachability, home feed refresh, and account session. A reachable wikipedia.org does not prove every Wikipedia workflow is healthy.
- Confirm wikipedia.org reachability and compare it with Official Status.
- Test home feed refresh and account session before changing account, device, or DNS settings.
- If you see wikipedia: feed works differently from posting, keep the timestamp, final URL, and failing action for support or incident review.
Official Wikipedia sources
Use these provider-controlled or provider-owned sources after the live check, especially when the verdict is mixed or the issue only affects one workflow.
Official Status
Official outage and maintenance updates for Wikipedia.
Wikipedia Official Site
Directly test the official Wikipedia website entrypoint.
Support and Help
Official support resources for Wikipedia account and service issues.
Common Wikipedia outage signs
These patterns help distinguish full wikipedia.org downtime from partial service degradation, account problems, or route-specific failures.
When Wikipedia only fails for you
Use these steps when WebsiteDown.org or official sources suggest Wikipedia is generally reachable, but your own session still fails.
- Run the live check, then test feed refresh, profile loading, and posting as separate actions.
- Compare app and web behavior on Wi-Fi and mobile data before clearing sessions.
- Save the failing action, timestamp, and screenshot if official Wikipedia sources have not acknowledged an incident yet.
How to check if Wikipedia is down
Use this workflow to compare the WebsiteDown.org result with official sources, your own browser, and a second network before changing account or device settings.
How we check Wikipedia
WebsiteDown.org checks public reachability for wikipedia.org and separates that signal from product-specific symptoms inside Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia profile on this page is scoped to wikipedia.org, categorized as Social / Community, and grouped under wikipedia. It cross-checks related hosts (www.wikipedia.org, www.wikimediastatus.net, wikipedia.org), uses verification sources such as Official Status, Wikipedia Official Site, Support and Help, and compares nearby diagnostics including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X so parent, child, and sibling service outages do not get blended together.
- wikipedia.org Public Reachability: Confirms whether wikipedia.org responds from regional probes before you investigate Wikipedia app-specific symptoms.
- Home Feed Refresh: Wikipedia can be reachable while feeds, search, or notification systems lag behind; this helps spot partial degradation.
- Account Session: Sign-in and session paths can fail while public Wikipedia pages still load, so this is checked as a separate outage clue.
- Posting Or Comment Action: Tracks the posting or comment action workflow as a separate Wikipedia signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
- Media Upload Path: Media delivery can fail after the homepage responds, so playback, stream startup, or CDN symptoms need their own signal.
Why trust this Wikipedia check?
WebsiteDown.org keeps the live verdict, official sources, and service profile separate so you can see what is measured and what still needs confirmation.
- The live result is a reachability signal for wikipedia.org from multiple regions, not a claim that every private Wikipedia workflow is healthy.
- The service profile is built from curated diagnostic fields: checked surfaces, failure modes, related hosts, official sources, and limitations.
- Official Wikipedia links are shown separately so you can verify provider-controlled status and support information before escalating.
