The server status....
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Wiki Home/Automated Server Status
You will have to ask the person who wrote it. But I'm assuming that it pings the same port the clients use to see if there is a response. It's not unusual to see the login server in maintenance/update mode while the game servers are reporting as being online. That is why that instruction was put into the page's guidelines.
