Summary
Make work these two features of Toolserver.
Proposal
These two features, quite used and recently also nicely linked, yet very often not available because of technical reasons. Make them work simply. I am talking about these two pages:
- Gallery: http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=Kozuch
- Global contribs: http://toolserver.org/%7Eluxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=Kozuch&lang=
Adding one more Toolserver feature that is constantly broken and though unusable:
- Check image usage: http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CheckUsage.php?i=Airplane_in-flight_information.jpg&w=_100000
Motivation
I use this features very much, because they are what Usability initiative should have been for example. They are quite old bud recently were linked from Commons UI (gallery as Commons user page tab, global contribs at the bottom of "my contributions" page on Commons too). But evidently both services follow good point, but are badly technically designed (often unavailable, expecially Global contribs) and could both use a UI redesign (gallery does not provide another thumbnail view than list, Global contribs could use selecting which wikis to scan).
