			==Why we perform maintenance breaks==
			We understand that maintenance breaks are inconvenient. However, there are vital tasks that must be done while the site is offline, including:
			*Upgrading MediaWiki, Apache, PHP and MariaDB software. For the security of our users, network and our company, these software must be kept up-to-date as much as practical. It can only be upgraded while the server is offline, to prevent damage to our databases and servers.
			*Database maintenance. To reduce the risk of data loss, we reserve certain database tasks to when our servers are offline.

			==Schedule==
			Every '''two months''', a maintenance break is scheduled.

			'''Three days''' before scheduled maintenance is due, we will announce the outage through a sitewide banner. (This may be how you were directed to this article.)
