The mobile site is also still available, by design.
"Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. Because the protest message is powered by JavaScript, it's also possible to view Wikipedia by completely disabling JavaScript in your browser."
Well that's a silver lining from my perspective: a lot of people will learn how to disable Javascript in their browsers.
and then forget to re-enable it and be baffled as to why their browser is utterly deprecated.
and wonder what makes the few well-designed websites that don't need javascript to be read that special
... or so I can dream.
