What the toolserver is good for

 * Reports. With its access to copies of the databases of Wikimedia project, the toolserver can provide complex analyses and output lists of pages meeting these criteria. Examples of what it can easily find out about pages include:
 * Template links: which templates the page transcludes;
 * Category links: which categories the page is a member of;
 * Page details: names, lengths, etc.
 * External links.


 * Tools. As per above, just with more general uses, often combining the quick and efficient process of querying a database with other functions such as looking at page wikitext directly.


 * Bots. The toolserver hosts bots so that they can operate more reliably.
