I started this to try to be a gentle introduction to the toolserver, to try to answer various questions I've seen asked several times. Hopefully this can remain a short, not-too-technical description of the toolserver. --Interiot 03:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

The different 'lag' on en.wiki: is that due to updating from an offline dump? Might be worth clarifying here, or linking to someplace else that discusses this. Alai 21:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Observation suggests that my initial guess is in fact wrong. At any rate, I'd still be interested in more details. Alai 10:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
enwiki is on a different master database server from the others, and MySQL only supports single-master replication, meaning it can't replicate both enwiki and the other wikis (it has a feature called 'dual-master replication', but this is something entirely different). DaB has written a tool to replicate another database, but it's not currently doing enwiki--i believe he's going to test it on the yaseo (Asian) wikis first, to make sure it works properly. river.
Ah-hah. Thanks, that both casts something of a light, and offers some hope for future synch-up. Alai 18:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Most wikis edit

"A few Wikimedia wikis (namely the Japanese, Korean, Thai and Malaysian Wikipedias) are physically located elsewhere, and their data are currently unavailable to toolserver tools. " Looking at the replag graphs, this seems to have changed? Rich Farmbrough 12:48 24 May 2006 (UTC).

Wikipedia toolserver copy edit

I've been leaving plaintive notes on the CatScan talk page, the Tools talk page, you name it. I could really use CatScan if the toolserver copy of the English Wikipedia were fixed. Any idea when/if this might happen? In the meantime, is there any other tool that can do searches like CatScan? Thanks. Her Pegship 20:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
