Ranked #5 on the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Moderation_tools#Rewriting_X.21.27s_Tools | 2016 Community Wishlist Survey ]]
The [[ https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools | XTools ]] suite of tools is currently very unstable and impossible to maintain. They are used upwards of 200,000 times a month in 185 languages. Complaints of instability have been ongoing since the author of the most recent rewrite retired in Augst 2014. On average, the tools go down every few hours or so, and we are currently relying on an automated script to monitor and restart them as needed. A complete rewrite is in order to ensure a reliable and stable service for the moderation community.
From {T154551}:
The current components of xTools are as follows (I've already checked off the ones I've converted the code for):
[ ] Edit Counter
[ ] Article Info ("Page History")
[X] Pages Created
[ ] Top Edits
[ ] Range Contributions
[ ] Article Blamer
[ ] Autoblock (It checks for autoblocked users - Maybe we should rename that tool)
[ ] AdminStats
[ ] RfX Analysis
[ ] RfX Vote Counter
[X] Quick, Dirty, Simple Edit Counter
In additions, there are three tools currently disabled but have the code still in the codebase:
[ ] Automated Edits
[ ] Bash Quotes
[X] Scottywong's AdminScore
