Thread:Talk:Wikimedia Labs/Crap/reply (2)

The weeks long outages of the toolserver happened years ago, before the toolserver capacity was doubled, correct me, when? 2007? Now it seems that 1) obviously there was (and perhaps still is) no skill at wikilabs how many resources are needed for the tools previously working on the toolserver and 2) a lack of knowledge about the importance of the several tools. Especially for a German WP user Catscan is the most important tool and in case of insufficiencies that tool should be among the latest to disable and again between the first to enable. Indeed all the bot stuff and other gimmicks should have lower priorities than tools which are part of the normal WP interface, as for example sulinfo (@ quentinv57) and contributions (@ luxo) – these are both still at the TS – or the stimmberechtigung tool (or other language specific "election" tools), then the category tools as above mentioned catscan_rewrite (@ magnus) or catgraph (@ dapete, still @ TS). If this is not possible or not appreciated I propose to put those tools permanently back on the toolserver.
