- It likely won't be a server error like that. Instead it will be a "MediaWiki internal error" (you'll probably see those exact words). What the rest of the page look like depends on where the error is. For instance, I've seen the error keep a page from rendering at all, but I've also seen it allow most of the page to be displayed (logo and tabs and navigation and such) with the error being contained in the article area. You might also see a PHP error along the top of the screen. If I had to place my bets where this is likely to show up, I'd guess when someone tries to upload an image or create an account. — It's dot com 16:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
