Oh we will! Once we're out of Beta, that is, which should be soon :) This is actually T165612 but that got closed, re-opening and will merge this in. Thanks

Err, actually let's just go with this new ticket. @Izno what do you mean by "CBP"?

Bah, I think you meant Cyberpower. We work as a team, but I'm sure he's onboard with redirecting too :) We will not be completely turning off the old XTools to avoid linkrot. Also some tools were intentionally not converted (Range Contributions and Article Blamer), those will continue to sort of work as they sort of work now =P

Yeah, Cyberpower. Don't worry about the specifics ~

Sure, but I charge a migration fee of $50 per redirect. :D

Can we redirect the Article Blamer tool to http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php? We really should sunset any active functionality at http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/, as it's confusing having 2 different xtools.

Also the 2 RfX tools should be moved to a new ToolForge project, maybe http://tools.wmflabs.org/rfx/, so that they can be maintained separately (if they're worth maintaining). Any opinions on that?

Considering the XTools Article Blamer doesn't even really work, I'm OK with this.

These have been rewritten in the new XTools, they're just a little buggy and lacking a few features. We'll get to that eventually, so I would recommend leaving these two as-is for now until the rewritten versions go live.

I otherwise agree that it's confusing to have two XTools. Should we redirect Autoblock to Special:Autoblocks (for the requested wiki)? The old XTools doesn't offer any additional functionality there, and actually shows less information. The only other one is Range Contributions. This as you know is now in MediaWiki but the old XTools still shows a lot more information (only for IPv4, though). Not sure what to do with that... I'm inclined to leave it where it is until T145912 happens.

Does it really even make sense having these in XTools? They are both specific to English and German Wikipedia rather than being general purpose tools. I haven't looked at the code though, so I don't know how integrated they are with the shared XTools architecture. Also, I'm worried that if we just leave them until the versions in the new XTools are running, we're never going to actually deprecate the old XTools.

Yes.

The only other one is Range Contributions.

What information is shown by XTools that isn't at Special:Contributions?

As of now, the code is not specific to either. Any other wiki that wants support can open a task, explaining which pages they conduct the discussions on. As long as they use a similar !voting pattern and have separate pages for each discussion, XTools can parse it.

The big bug we're dealing with is parsing end dates out of the closing string. Other than that, the RfX tools are functional.

👍

My understanding is that we opted to not do rangecontributions (T153112). If it's necessary/requested, it shouldn't be hard to port Range Contributions.

The old tool provides basic WHOIS and geolookup information, along with sorting by IP. Basically everything we intend to do with T145912. I do not think this would be easy to "port" to the new XTools, per se, as we'd need to rewrite the code entirely. Also the ip_changes table is not yet on the replicas (T173891). If we want to work on this, I would instead devote our time to T145912 as that will benefit more people and likely involve around the same amount of work.

My apologies, it was not tracked here explicitly. However, I can no longer reproduce it... If I see it again you'll get a bug report pronto.

I have turned the tools on (on our dev instance) to facilitate proper testing. Examples:

• https://xtools-dev.wmflabs.org/rfx/en.wikipedia.org/rfa/MusikAnimal
• https://xtools-dev.wmflabs.org/rfxvote/en.wikipedia.org/MusikAnimal

Here it says Alf.laylah.wa.laylah !voted twice, which they did not, and the neutral !vote was struck yet XTools still counted it. I had unanimous support dammit! :) Anyway, as you can see, it's not quite production-ready, but probably not far off from it.

Autoedits now redirecting to Special:AutoBlock on the requested wiki: http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/autoblock/?user=%25&project=en.wikipedia.org

And also the Edit Counter :)

All done here. Someone else might have to take up the RfX tools though. :)

See T186258.
