Finally, a WMF initiative that is actually useful! From Admin tools development: "Sadly, the resources of the Wikimedia Foundation are limited, and we do not wish for this to interfere with our timely delivery of appropriate tools". Hmmm. I wonder why. MER-C 11:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, it's because it's nothing new: as you say, it's been going on for weeks. And also, this particular problem is affecting only one of the two s1-databases hosted by the Toolserver, limiting the damage. Thirdly, I'm not sure many readers have either noticed or care. But I agree, I should do an IB, particularly if the current plan to make the database read only and then reimport a dump goes ahead. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 12:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
