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!

Summary of the voting below
Hi everyone,

thank you for participating and for all your feedback! The good news are, that, among the tools which got named very often: Dispenser's tools are back in service, though he quit Tool Labs; Overlordq's Whois will hopefully be migrated by their maintainers; Luxo's derivative has found new maintainers. Also some other tools got fixed or will be migrated. Thanks, this is much appreciated!

What's next? Where can you help?
 * As mentioned below, Steinsplitter and Bawolff still are looking for someone who would like to help them out with Luxo's derivative.
 * VVV's adminstats got 9 votes, followed by Holek's citigen and Nikola's SVG translate. So if you are interested in maintaining a tool and you don't prefer a specific one, these could be the tools to get started with. We can help you to contact the current maintainers to find out about the whereabouts of their tools.

Not migrated, nobody working on it (3 or more mentions)

 * adminstats_vvv: 9 (there is a substitute that might work for may users)
 * Citegen by Holek: 5
 * SVG Translate by Nikola: 4, Jarry1250 is working on a fork already.

Will probably migrate or hasn't finished migration (3 or more mentions)

 * derivative by luxo: 22 (Steinsplitter, Bawolff, help wanted)

Will migrate for sure (3 or more mentions)

 * Merlbot by Merlissimo
 * the OSM projects
 * Overlordq/Whois: 7 (Overlordq promised to migrate, time issue)

Is on Tool Labs but not fully functional (3 or more mentions)

 * Connectivity by Lvova et al.: 3

Voting: 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.

reflinks
Loss of Reflinks tool (partly moved up here from bottom of page)

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)

--User:SecretName101 I support bringing back reflinks, it was a useful tool that should not have been removed. Either, there should have been a proper replacement or no removal at all. Many new users have difficulty creating proper links, and this tool helped them immesurably, and even experienced users utilized it to save time correcting articles with innumerable references needing corrections. SecretName101 (talk) 16:35, 2 September 2014 (UTC) I frequently use reflinks while doing AfC reviewing. This is a really essential tool! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 13:54, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Bring back reflinks!


 * An operational open source version is now running here https://tools.wmflabs.org/fengtools/reflinks/. See User:Zhaofeng Li/Reflink for support. phatom87 (talk) 13:31, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

transcluded changes

 * I also often use the transcluded changes (WikiProject watchlist) tool. https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/transcluded_changes.py/ --Paul 012 (talk) 06:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Ditto on transcluded changes (WikiProject watchlist)Meclee (talk) 23:51, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/transcluded_changes.py/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)
 * I agree that this is an essential tool for us at the Gastropod Project. Invertzoo (talk) 19:30, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I also support these tool as it helps at members of WikiProject Azerbaijan to deal with vandalism.--Yacatisma (talk) 15:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

logs / File viewer

 * Both coord-enwiki.log and glupt.log were very useful (and not entirely overlapping) for finding errors in the formatting of coordinates in articles. Deor (talk) 07:05, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/logs for finding errors in geocolocated objects. --Thgoiter (talk) 08:17, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Now http://tools.wmflabs.org/dispenser/logs/ . But the link ~dispenser/view/File viewer still tries to open the logfile from the toolserver. --Thgoiter (talk) 13:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

dabsolver & dablinks

 * https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/dab_solver.py for fixing links to disambiguation pages. --R&#39;n&#39;B (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * +1 for dab solver. Jenks24 (talk) 08:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * --BokicaK (talk) 11:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

 * +1 for dabsolver, please! User:Furius

Checklinks

 * https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Checklinks - It's really helpful with getting rid of the linkrot. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:22, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * --BokicaK (talk) 11:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * I'm now abe to get to this tool and though it seemed to run, it didn't display any links. —Ost316 (talk) 13:30, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 * +1  — Jeff G. ツ 14:11, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Labs is missing the watchlist table and likely will not be added for some stupid reason. Dispenser (talk) 04:32, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

embeddedincount

 * ~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py very useful to support analysis templates issues and fix them. Automatik (talk) 21:46, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * embeddedincount (this one was in public domain) πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 13:16, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! Automatik (talk) 14:51, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 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. ~
 * Perhaps there is an equivalent for https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/backlinkscount.py ? Automatik (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It should really be rewritten as an fcgi script as bots like hammering it. There's also templatecount which isn't bot friendly.—Dispenser (talk) 00:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

dabfix

 * http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py tool for expanding and cleaning up disambiguation pages. —Ost316 (talk) 13:25, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Bar none the most useful tool I have ever used. Bring this back please! Ithinkicahn (talk) 08:51, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

locateCoord

 * https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/locateCoord.py - used by de:Vorlage:GeoTemplate which is linked from tons of articles. --2A02:810D:10C0:6F4:2DEE:585C:2874:3B0A 16:09, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Peer reviewer

 * http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/view/Peer_reviewer - automatically included in most Featured Article candidacies. Nikkimaria (talk) 09:30, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I find this very useful in editing articles, and will find it more useful if I start to review good article nominees. SamBlob (talk) 21:51, 23 August 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)

 * Thank you, Ijon and <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b>, much appreciated! Let's wait some more days (July 15th) to see which tools get the most ++. Birgit Müller (WMDE) (talk) 09:36, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey Ijon and <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b>! Thanks again for your offer! As you see above, luxo's tool is missed by lots of people. There are Steinsplitter and Bawolff who started to migrate it. Steinsplitter would appreciate help with security questions. (But didn't go into detail, yet.) Does one of you want to support him to get luxo's tool up and running? Best, Silke WMDE (talk) 09:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I can't offer help on security review, specifically. Sorry. Ijon (talk) 16:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't know why he won't work with the WMF on it, from what some of there people are saying they are willing to work with him. Someone needs to come up with a similar tool to DabSolver & Reflinks if he is unwilling to work with the WMF. We need high quality tools like these.Blethering Scot (talk) 20:42, 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? Thanks. Technical 13 (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Technical 13, thanks for the reminder! Done. Best, Silke WMDE (talk) 07:49, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

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)
 * OverlordQ got back to us by now. He wrote in an email that he hasn't had time to migrate, yet, but he's got his backup and will hopefully set it up on Tool Labs soon. Silke WMDE (talk) 08:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
