DB connection error: Unknown database 'p50380g50497__wikidb_arwiki' (arwiki.labsdb)

I believe I created it a while ago.

This specific database is not something important, and I can recreate it easily, but p50380g50497__wikidb_zhwiki on zhwiki.labsdb is important to my bot and I don't want it to get lost later.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

User databases are not part of any backup or mirroring infrastructure, and should be considered to be ephemeral (although, in practice, they will be long-lived).

I would very much recommend that any hard to replace data in them be backed up to the filesystem at regular interval.
