The Hashtags and Wikilink tools are fairly similar - they both monitor MediaWiki event streams for data and record certain events to a database to be displayed in a tool built with Django. We've made quite a range of stability and technical improvements to Wikilink over the years but Hashtags hasn't received the same attention. We could incorporate many of these changes into Hashtags to improve its stability.

The scope of this task is to review the state of Wikilink and Hashtags and identify technical improvements we could copy over.
