Talk:Wikimedia Labs/Tool Labs/List of Toolserver Tools

Expired tools
There should also be a separate list of the tools which died because of account expiration. There are many I still miss, and on Toolserver they can revived at any time. Probably less details are needed for those, but it's still something to keep an eye on. --Nemo 08:12, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Most linked tools
Some tools are also often linked from the wikis. Here are the authors whose tools are most linked with interwiki: 2408592 magnus 2374418 daniel 659885 dispenser 566591 apper 325646 pathoschild 325427 krimpet 325288 chm 160767 quentinv 74611 luxo 36825 merl 17320 acc 17222 unblock 2826 revolus 1821 mzmcbride 1431 kalan 1292 soxred 890 river 853 alexz 562    266 bjelleklang 197 magog 193 awb 189 myst 169 erwin 158 drtrigon 158 betacommand 133 vvv 126 interiot 119 tangotango

There's also a list of all such links and a count of the respective occurrences (rather big files). I'm having some problems with the queries for links in external link form, let's see if something useful comes out of it. --Nemo 10:21, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Simplify editing
Hi. I suggest using named parameters to make it easier to edit the table. Specifically, I'd replace the positional arguments: 

With something like this:

I'd also suggest automating the manual list number.

If that's okay, I can take care of it. — Pathoschild 02:01:29, 08 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Coren already fixed that some weeks ago :-). But if you want to convert the existing entries with positional arguments, I'd appreciate it.  --Tim&#160;Landscheidt 03:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
