Thanks. Question: Are the webservers set up using puppet? If so, would it be easy to create a brand-new webserver instance, move some/all tools from 01 there, and see what happens? Disclaimer: I have never used puppet, nor am I intricately familiar with Labs internal setup. On Thu, Oct 10,

They are setup using puppet 'role::labs::tools::webserver' webserver-03 was created not too long ago and some tools were shifted onto it. It shouldn't be to hard to resolve the problem again, we just need to wait for someone with the technical permissions to do so.

The real name isn't actually an option, it's a field in the user table. Special:Preferences handles it specially. Your API command does correctly set a realname option, and it can be fetched using api.php?format=jsonfmaction=querymeta=userinfouiprop=options, but as you've noted that doesn't
