for user:Чръный_человек

This tool is quite unstable now and Quentin has been inactive for months now. [[m:Special:CentralAuth]] now has almost everything that sulinfo.php did so I'd suggest to use CA instead.

On a related note, interwiki link [[sulutil:]] has also been updated to point to CA since last month.

This tool is old. As it's maintainer, I'm going to be merging the tool into my edit counter when I have the time. I'm hoping to get an overhaul of all of my tools and bots going when Thanksgiving break comes around.
