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!
