bot to fix a problem in books template

Since you are good at making bots, can you take a look at this please? Template_talk:Infobox_book#Granular_publication_parameters Discussions about it were in a section elsewhere on that page and elsewhere. They made a mistake in changing the infobox for books, and this caused problems. I suggested a bot could check the history of the article the day before the date in which they altered the infobox template, and just copy the information from that revision to the current version. That way you get the full date something was published in, it often listing the month and sometimes even the day, not just the year. This information was lost when the change was made.

Tools

Hi Scottywong, your tools appear down for me (such as QPQ check, new page patrol); I get the following:

" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./usersearch.cgi", line 119, in main db = MySQLdb.connect(db=server, host=server.replace("_p", "-p") + ".rrdb.toolserver.org", read_default_file=os.path.expanduser("~/.my.cnf")) File "/opt/ts/python/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 81, in Connect return Connection(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/ts/python/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 188, in __init__ super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2) OperationalError: (1226, "User 'snottywong' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 15)") " for QPQ check

Thanks, Matty.007 13:39, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

+1. http://toolserver.org/~snottywong/cgi-bin/afdadminstats.cgi?name=B&max=240&startdate=&altname= output also includes

OperationalError: (1226, "User 'snottywong' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 15)")

Thanks for the cool tools. Looks like the tools or usage is a bit haywire. --Elvey (talk) 01:42, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

• I have just tried to run http://toolserver.org/~snottywong/editorinteract.html. I a message saying that your Toolserver account has expired, as you have been inactive for six months. Any chance of reactivating your account? I find your interaction analyzer really invaluable, so I would be really grateful if you could resurrect it.

@JamesBWatson: Since Scotty is semi-retired, he may not get to this for a while. Want to send him an e-mail? --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 15:32, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Please talk to User:Σ. He has replicated many of my tools on the WMF Tool Labs server. You should use those versions of the tools instead. ‑Scottywong| converse _ 16:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
