@Count_Count and @Urbanecm Not sure if you are the right people to ask about this but I would love it if you could keep an eye out for feedback on the tool. Both positive and negative feedback/testimonies would be helpful. Thank you.

I'm not from dewiki in any way, I just saw a request I can process, so I did it :-). However, once it is on cs.wikipedia (no discusion started yet), I'd be happy to do that for you, since that's my home wiki.
