Whoever set up the redirects for docs.webplatform.org/<something> forgot something incredibly important. See: <http://docs.webplatform.org/robots.txt>. It redirects to /wiki/robots.txt, which is definitely not correct. That robots.txt disallows /w, which includes all the special pages. This is very likely one of the causes the 503s as a lot of the special pages create database connections and some are long lasting. In fact, most of the resources in the shared doc root are broken. This redirect configuration is really evil. I thought we were going to do very specific redirects, like js, css, etc.? Why is this done in such a blanket way?
