        <p>The Etherpad Lite server that used to be here has been taken down and replaced with <a href="https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/">a new one</a>. If you need to get something off of this instance urgently, please contact MHolmquist [ at ] Wikimedia [ dot ] org and explain your situation.</p>
        <h2>Public Service Announcement</h2>
        <p>In the future, if you're on a website that is a subdomain of "wmflabs.org" - like "etherpad.wmflabs.org", for example - you should absolutely avoid putting any sensitive or important information there, unless the particular site has made assurances to the contrary. Labs is mostly a place for developers and sysadmins to play around with new configurations and show off in-progress work, and it's not guaranteed to be stable. So please, don't treat it like it is!</p>

Eh, some server *is* providing the message Nemo quoted :-).

Oh, true. My temptation, though, is to resolve this by deleting the instance entirely...

"Could not resolve host: etherpad.wmflabs.org"

Hence wontfixing/declining this request.

scfc changed the task status from Declined to Resolved.Apr 25 2015, 7:46 PM

Well, the purpose was to have a status code that conveys "does not exist", and that has been done IMHO.
