Request
Is there any dedicated page for requests and questions about the toolserver? If so, please feel free to move my question.

User:Edward Chernenko is inactive on all Wikimedia projects since 2007. His tool http://toolserver.org/~edwardspec/cgi-bin/matchtitle.cgi is broken since the change from query.php to the API in 2008. Is there any way to repair it?

And why, btw, forces the toolserver a reload if I leave and revisit the edit page via history links? That's annoying. Please change the configuration. --Slomox 00:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Slomox, sometimes a more friendly request gets you faster to a solution than an other. Regards --Marbot 09:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC) PS I am not judging if your frustration is understandable or not.


 * Did I use any harsh words? The harshest was annoying and that's just a descriptive word for what it is. --Slomox 01:30, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm dutch and read this a very friendly request. I guess this is a translation misunderstanding Carsrac 17:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As I understood the Toolserver and its services are a free of charge to the community and in general maintained through privat initiative. I am sure that there is someone out there working on the issues brought up by the community and tries to do his or her very best. I think it is normal that some problems occure when you update or upgrade soft- and hardware. Under these circumstances I think words like annoying etc. are a bit to strong, even though it summarises your view best. Regards --Marbot 08:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC) PS If people think that it is ok how you brought forward your issue, the better. I was just expressing my view.

Translation question
I got the message "It looks like that the Wiki-Server are overloaded. Pse try again later." while I was using the ILC (interwiki-link-checker). Is this an internal message or a message from the toolserver or from one of the wiki-servers. As you all see there is a translation error in this message. Carsrac 17:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
