Mock Description

As wikipedia users, we would appreciate knowing when to expect loss of a service.

In this case, what changes are occurring to make the service listed below go offline.

These tools are pervasive: list of editors of a pages, list of edits, most frequent editor, etc., etc.

How can we establish a person or process to defend the integrity of the service, so at the least, we can get a baseline of its reliability. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Xtools_.2F_edit_counter Right now, the services are orphaned].

Event Timeline

Statistics example, this example was for display of en.wiki Nervous_system article

Keeping only the common.css that sets image background to transparent (so I don't see black around the images), and commenting out the common.js which loads Hedonil's XTools, navpop is back on the articles. The navpops were available for watchlists. To me, this means that XTools consumes a resource that currently never completes the refresh when attempting to complete the load of the articles, and that the watchlist display does not have this burden. Hazarding a guess, the problematic data feed is from the edit counters. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 21:31, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
