Wikipedia:Toolserver
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wikimedia Toolserver[1] is a cluster of servers operated by Wikimedia Deutschland e. V.[2] It is used to provide hosting and combined access to all the useful tools which were written by different people for the Wikimedia projects. The toolserver offers a replicated database of Wikimedia's projects. Interested programmers should get shell access there to update and care for their scripts.

[edit] Toolserver reports
As the toolserver constantly replicates the databases that hold details about Wikipedia and the pages between them, Wikipedians with access to the toolserver are ideally placed to query the server and derive customised reports for other Wikipedians on request. The relationships easiest to query are between:
- pages
- the categories they are in
- the external links they have
- the images or other media they link to.
