Tool Labs/Collection of issues after Toolserver shutdown

Collection: Issues after Toolserver shutdown / Sammelstelle: Probleme nach Toolserver-Abschaltung
Hi! We would like to provide an overview for everyone and see which tools are most wanted and what is not working properly.

If you miss any tools or have noticed any broken redirects or any other error messages, please fill in below! The Toolserver was a community project and Wikimedia Deutschland cannot maintain volunteers' tools in the long run. But as many tools use free licenses, you could become the new maintainer. If you are a tool developer or if you want to become one, you can use the list of most-missed tools to get an idea where to get started. We can help you to contact the person who first wrote the tool and find out if he or she is still active or agrees to handing over the project. We will also check the broken redirects and other errors.

Please note that the backups of the tools will only be available until end of August 2014.

Thank you all for your help!

''Hallo! Wir möchten einen Überblick über die am meisten vermissten Tools schaffen und sammeln, was seit der Toolserver-Abschaltung nicht mehr funktioniert.''

''Wenn Dir ein Tool besonders fehlt oder Du eine kaputte Weiterleitung oder andere Fehlermeldungen entdeckt hast, trag sie bitte unten ein. Der Toolserver war ein Community-Projekt und Wikimedia Deutschland kann nicht langfristig Tools von Freiwilligen warten. Da aber viele Tools unter freien Lizenzen stehen, kannst Du das bei Interesse tun! Wir können Dich dabei unterstützen, die Person zu kontaktieren, die das Tool geschrieben hat und herauszufinden, ob sie noch aktiv ist oder damit einverstanden ist, das Projekt zu übergeben. Darüber hinaus überprüfen wir die nicht funktionierenden Weiterleitungen und anderen Fehlermeldungen.''

Die Backups für die Tools können noch bis Ende August herausgegeben werden.

Danke für Eure Beteiligung!

This is the tool I miss most / Dieses Tool fehlt mir am meisten
Please name the tool and, if possible, the name of the tool developer and the tool's old web address. Please add your signatures to vote until July 15th (IPs welcome).

'''Do not add the same tool more than once please! Just add your +1 if a tool has already been named!''' (as in "add your signature to vote...)

''Bitte benenne das Tool und, wenn möglich, den Namen des Entwicklers oder der Entwicklerin und die alte Webadresse. Signiere '''bis zum 15.7. (IP-Adressen willkommen)''', damit wir sehen, welche Tools tatsächlich am häufigsten genannt werden.

 * Unfortunately, that just returns the numerical count rather than a list of the page titles, which is what WikiProjects used the Transcluded Pages tool for. ~

 * http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py tool for expanding and cleaning up disambiguation pages. —Ost316 (talk) 13:25, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * https://tools.wmflabs.org/dispenser/cgi-bin/transcluded_changes.py?page=Template:WikiProject_Gastropods : this is the only tool by which we can check changes to more than 28,000 articles (and still growing in number) about gastropods. This tool is indispensable for our project. Without this tool, vandalism won't be noticed with all its consequences. JoJan (talk) 13:49, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * https://tools.wmflabs.org/dispenser/cgi-bin/transcluded_changes.py?page=Template:WikiProject_Gastropods I agree that this is an essential tool for us at the Gastropod Project. Invertzoo (talk) 19:30, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Now https://tools.wmflabs.org/dispenser/cgi-bin/locateCoord.py but now working at the moment. --Thgoiter (talk) 13:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Checklinks. Most recently (20–28 June) for many of the changes within this bunch of edits -- which took a fair amount of time, but much less than without checklinks. I'd only recently discovered checklinks and had been planning to continue, using checklinks to go through every article for which I was the major contributor. Toolserver.org sometimes seemed to be down. No big deal: I'd just wait till it was up again. (There were always plenty of other things to keep me busy in the meantime.) -- Hoary (talk) 13:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Checklinks was useful for locating dead links for replacement. 173.48.134.121 03:45, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

erwin85

 * I already ported the cross-wikiness tool. 60881 Don't I get any credit? :P πr2 (t • c</b>) 17:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It's apparently broken now, even though confirmed it worked before. Unfortunately I don't have access to fix it even though I asked erwin a while back. AFAIK none of the other maintainers are active... πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 17:44, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Never mind. fixed it in less than ten seconds after I asked. All erwin's tools were giving 404 before. πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 17:51, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Hey πr2</b>, was ~vvv/sulutil.php the same thing? --Elitre (talk) 09:07, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ http://toolserver.org/~erwin85/relatedchanges.php "Related Changes" by Erwin85. Was incredibly useful for monitoring changes to files within a specific category tree on Commons, and no other tool replicated its range of functionality. Note that the tool was partially migrated to http://tools.wmflabs.org/erwin85/relatedchanges.php, but is not functional...possibly a database issue? Huntster (talk) 09:05, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I have migrated that one. There is still a problem with it for commons, which I don't understand and hope to tackle later. Are you trying to use it for commons? Akoopal (talk) 11:47, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * , yes, I use it exclusively on Commons. If it is at all possible to get it working, you'll have my undying gratitude. I don't check this wiki often, but if you get it functioning, please ping me on Commons or En.wiki, I'll be happy to test and troubleshoot. Huntster (talk) 01:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Did some debugging myself now, and I have find the cause. The tool should now be completely working. Akoopal (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks fully functional to me. Big thanks mate, marking this "done". Huntster (talk) 02:15, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

merl

 * https://toolserver.org/~merl/specialpages/dewiki/Navigationsleistenwartung/Navigationsleiste_Musik (sorry for not correct link to the tool itself; didn't know which part I should paste here :) ); important tool at the dewiki (other wikis could also use it).

myst

 * http://toolserver.org/~myst/cil/ : generate a list of articles in a category without an interwiki with a given language (articles in Category:Tolkien without an interwiki with fr:, for exemple). Mostly used to know articles to translate. --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 23:53, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 * +1, I was about to report those. Trijnstel (talk) 11:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC) Addition: I've asked C-M and OverlordQ to move their tools already months ago; neither did (C-M, OverlordQ 1, OverlordQ 2).
 * ✅ Though, see http://tools.wmflabs.org/blockcalc/blockcalc.php - was it moved partially? Trijnstel (talk) 11:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, it suffered from some webserver problem on Tool Labs but has migrated. Added to missing links. Silke WMDE (talk) 12:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * +1 on the whoistool by overlordq. Mbch331 (talk) 13:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The autoblock finder tool link from w:Special:Log/Block is still pointing to a toolserver 403 page. Has this tool been moved?  I have struck the "done" tick for now as it appears that this tool is not working.  The link certainly doesn't work. This tool is essential for admins.

Loss of Reflinks tool
It seems that Reflinks, previously hosted on Toolserver, is no longer functioning. Reflinks is a tool essential for our mission to provide citations and enhance verifiability. It simplifies the job of populating references, yet the developer feels that the WMF is forcing him to abandon the tool. It's exactly cases like these that makes me wonder where I should be asking questions about the whys and the wherefores. Not only that, I'm extremely disappointed and slightly angry that this has happened, and would like to appeal to the powers that be to reconsider. --Ohconfucius (talk) 07:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit Request for TS main page
Can someone please [//wiki.toolserver.org/edit/Toolserver:Homepage update] Toolserver's main page to reflect that the site has been shut down (instead of will be shut down) and add a link to this discussion for people to be able to request tool migrations and note bugs with redirects or whatnot?

Where is the WHOIS tool?
With the closure of toolserver, we were left without a WHOIS tool (only days after I replaced the previous, "account-expired" tool). There's dozens of tools at the wmflabs page, none is labeled clearly as "Whois" and I don't have time to check each and everyone of them. Which is the whois tool we could use for the "WHOIS" option at the bottom of the IP contributions page? Also, to whom it may concern: please consider maintaining some basic tools, like whois, global contribs, edit count etcetera, by WMF's developers as an integral/centralized part of the wiki sites function, to avoid having to look for these tools, especially in hours of need, again and again every time a developer account expires. Thanks - Badseed (talk) 23:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Tried to contact overlordq about his/her missing tools. No answer yet though. Whois is licensed under GPLv3, so anyone could resurrect the tool. Silke WMDE (talk) 09:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This needs fixing as a matter of urgency. It is not just a tool in the toolbox of a few experienced editors.  It is linked on the talk page and the history page of every single IP editor and they are all returning a 403 error.  This is not quite as broken as the site could get but it is a pretty poor situation.  I don't think the Foundation developers should be sitting around on their thumbs hoping that some volunteer will pick this up. <font style="background:#fafad2;color:#C08000">Spinning <font style="color:#4840a0">Spark  16:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The link was added by the admins of some wikis, and they can remove it just as easily. It is not there by default. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 17:48, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I know that, but removing the link to the tool and pretending it never existed is not really any kind of solution. The transfer of tools from Toolserver has been completely botched, relying entirely on the efforts of individual volunteers to get it done.  There is stuff broken all over the wiki.  This is not the only highly visible breakage; most of the tools in the RfA menu have stopped working. <font style="background:#fafad2;color:#C08000">Spinning <font style="color:#4840a0">Spark  09:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this is pretty useful/visible tool. Shame that it is now broken. Red Harvest (talk) 09:36, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * For my personnal usage I switched from http://toolserver.org/~overlordq/cgi-bin/whois.cgi to http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/ followed by the IP, wich is not linked in tools.wmflabs --JackAttack (talk) 11:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not identical but does http://tools.wmflabs.org/whois/208.80.155.131/lookup work for you? You can use http://tools.wmflabs.org/whois/208.80.155.131/redirect/ARIN for a direct result from ARIN and similarly for APNIC etc. I will be happy to have the place "/whois" on Tool Labs taken over by OverlordQ or someone else for a complete migration or a better tool. whym (talk) 10:29, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
