Thank you for the quick response. To make sure I understand correctly, this means that tools are running off of old copies of the Wikipedia database (and those for other Wikimedia projects).
The tools seem to work, but are not up-to-date until this is resolved. And, I tried the contributors tool, which seems up-to-date for enwiki and being replicated. But, I made an edit to my Arabic wikipedia user page, and it's not showing up in the Contributors tool. http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php So, it seems the impact is minimal for English Wikipedia users (please correct me if I'm wrong). I can still mention something, since toolserver was down for a few days and people may have wondered about that. -Aude On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 2:56 AM, River Tarnell < [email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > River Tarnell: > > a Wikimedia sysadmin deleted the log files that contained these changes > > (which is commonly done due to shortness of disk space on the master > database > > servers). > > forgot to mention: i explained the problems this causes us to Wikimedia, > and > provided a way for them to see which binlogs can be safely deleted, so this > hopefully won't happen again. > > - river. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > > iD8DBQFJaFS2IXd7fCuc5vIRAl6WAJ9kBDSIpTJb8gaHkCKvhcZsM05++gCgipcr > 1U4HWyHf95igL161/XzFx4k= > =9RM0 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > Toolserver-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l > -- Aude
